Our ideas of parenthood might have been solidified in early childhood, as we tucked our baby doll into her toy crib. Or it may have been dreamt about the moment we knew we were about to become a parent.\n\n\nBut for some of us, the dream and reality didn’t match. Our children had issues. Our children had fears. Our children had struggles.\n\n\nJanelle Molony’s idea of motherhood wasn’t what she had imagined. After entering the world of foster care to adopt her child, she was thrown into a whirlwind of issues and struggles she wasn’t anticipating. \n\n\nIn her memoir, Un-Adoptable? Faith Beyond Foster Care, she recounts her struggles and triumphs and how ultimately, she was able to move out of the darkness and into the light.\n\n\nI had the pleasure of talking with Janelle on this week’s AT Parenting Survival Podcast. To learn more about Janelle’s work go to her website, www.adoptiontolife.com or check out her book Un-Adoptable?
