Pro-Family Pro-Adoption Book with Terri Marcroft: Episode 107
Why do only 1% of women in the U.S. who are in an unplanned/crisis pregnancy consider adoption? We as Christians need to re-examine how we can we better support and embrace these women. We are inviting families, sisters, fellow church members, parents, grandparents to suggest the loving, positive option of adoption. Our new book Pro-Family, Pro-Adoption: A Christian's Guide to Unplanned Pregnancy Options is a wake-up call, an information resource, a guide, and a story about how we can all do better to support the women around us who are going through or will go through an unplanned pregnancy. We can show her there is a loving, life-giving choice in adoption - and open adoption is something she needs to understand because statistics show that most of the U.S. doesn't know what it is.

How To Adopt Using Social Media With Lindsay Bruggeman
Is it possible to adopt using social media? Yes, it is possible. With all of us being connected through social media, it is more possible today than ever before. My guest on the show today is proof that it can work. Lindsay and her husband started a Facebook and Instagram page in January of 2021 and then were matched by the middle of August, just a few months later. Lindsay tells her adoption story while sharing her experiences of what it was like to connect with her son's birthmom through Facebook and then meeting her in person. She explains how to navigate through possible scams. She talks about the importance of working with a very experienced adoption attorney. While finding a match through social media might not be for everyone, Lindsay gives many compelling reasons why you should at least explore the idea. Lindsay also shares how she is now helping other hopeful adoptive families match through social media just like she did. She created The Helpful HAP (for hopeful adoptive parents) and offers Adoption Matching Assistance. She creates very specific and SUPER helpful monthly social media post ideas and calendars.
