Adoptive Mom and Author in Live Q & A Session
Author, Janelle Molony, is asked tough questions, live on social media!
Okay, quick take on these… I was super nervous and I ended up mixing up some details, but no worries! The MUCH better version of the story is available in paperback, e-book, and (Sept.2020) audiobook! Check it out!
Amazon Marketplace: Un-Adoptable? Faith Beyond Foster Care
Interviewer: Jorge Hernandez
Original filming date: July 26, 2020
Part One
Janelle Molony, author of Un-Adoptable? Faith Beyond Foster Care discusses her journey from #MomWreck and coming to “the end of herself” to finding strength, deeper faith, and high-quality relationships.
Part one highlights her marriage and journey into parenthood. What does it mean to be “unequally yolked” and how could that impact the adoption process? Molony talks about the “Baby Clock” that women feel and how she came to the decision to adopt.
Part Two
Disabilities, Attachment Disorders, and Trauma. How far would you go to get help for your special needs child? How much *faith* do you put in the paperwork, the medical records, or in Jesus (Jehovah Rapha), our healer?
In part two, author, Janelle Molony, and friend Jorge Hernandez discuss children processing trauma, confusion, and hurt. When they struggle with their internal chaos and have limited options for communicating their pain and fear – there are some difficult (potentially scary) mechanisms used to handle their emotions.
Part Three
Janelle Molony goes from blogger/vlogger and magazine writer to author of the bestselling parenting novel, Un-Adoptable? Faith Beyond Foster Care. She opens up about feelings of insecurity, expectations, and the devastating effects of self-reliance.
In part three, Jorge Hernandez and Janelle Molony discuss the length of investment and effort applied in raising a special needs child. Can God redeem the mistakes? Can God redeem the losses? Can God redeem the past hurts? Some things we pray for are beyond our sights, strengths, and earthly abilities.
Part Four
Did you know? Son, David, read and approved each and every word in the book. We made it a priority to include him in the process and have committed to funding several of his interests with profits earned. In fact, the first royalty check went straight to David and he bought himself a three-piece suit! (How cute is that!!)
At the end of the interview, you are invited to join Jorge and Janelle in prayer for the family, the book, profits, reviews, and the radical impact the story can and will have on future families who are interested in or are pursuing adoptions of children from foster care, or those with special needs of any kind.
