Guarding Against False Dilemma Traps: Nurturing BOTH Truth AND Love in Your Adoptive/Blended Family
In our journey as second moms, we often find ourselves bombarded with choices that seem to demand we pick one side or the other.
These either-or scenarios, often referred to as false dilemmas, can be limiting and harmful. They present us with the illusion that we must choose between two opposing paths, neglecting the nuanced possibilities that exist when we allow love and truth to coexist. Let us dig into this topic, exploring why it is essential to guard against false dilemma traps for the sake of our family's well-being.

The Post Adoption Mom Coach
As adoptive mothers, we often pour our hearts and souls into nurturing our children, hoping to create a loving and stable environment...
Yet, facing rejection from the very children we cherish can be a painful and bewildering experience. This is a path I know well, not only as an experienced adoptive mom but also as a post-adoption mom coach.
Today, I want to offer a fresh perspective on this heart-wrenching experience, inspired by a biblical narrative of rejection — the story of the prophet Samuel from I Samuel 8:4-9.
Plus -- I am sharing a four part W.A.R.N. strategy -- a Biblical approach directly from this passage!
Learn the exact steps for handling rebellious rejection at any level in your household. Or anytime you feel a sense of personal rejection that comes with rebellious attitudes, backtalk, personal accusations or other behavior!
