AMP S7E103: Dudes Who Adopt #6 - Bryan Fittin and Ryan Smith Nov 09, 2020

Show notes

We women take a lot of credit for being superheroes in the adoption world (thank you, thank you), but dudes are quite the heroes, themselves. Most kids from hard places bring a lot of dad-related baggage to the table. Abandonment, abuse, the list goes on. Adoptive dads can often feel set up for failure when it comes to caring for their kids.

On top of all that, society has trained them not to have feelings or emotions or safe places to talk about the hard stuff and get support. Men are set up for success in so many ways in this world, but dealing with the pain of being on the front lines of trauma is not one of them.

That’s why we started the Dudes Who Adopt series, to give men a voice and representation that this is tough and they are not alone in it.

This is still the Enneagram season though, so yes, while our dude representatives talk about…well, dude stuff, they also talk about their specific personalities and the nuances that come with being a 3 (Bryan) and an 8 (Ryan) in the adoption world.

AMP S7E100: Enneagram 4s and Adoption - Shannon Guerra Oct 19, 2020

Show notes

Enneagram 4s are thought to be the least represented number on the Enneagram. Since they are withdrawn, moody, and struggle to know themselves, they tend to be among the most misunderstood as well.

They are marked by a distinct desire to bring beauty and creativity to the world around them, which benefits everyone they love as well, including their adopted kids. They are more comfortable than most with darkness and hard times and struggles, so they are amazing at walking others through their pain without being pulled down in the process. This makes them amazing listeners who aren’t afraid to sit with their people in the face of trauma...https://theadoptivemompodcast.com/blog/shannonguerra

AMP S7E96: Enneagram 1s and Adoption - Kara-Kae James Sep 21, 2020

Show notes

We 1s are an interesting bunch. I feel like we get labeled as a lot less fun than we actually are. Most of the 1s I know, including myself, are social, reasonable, funny, and charismatic, but how do we balance the desire to be all of those things with our other desire to be good, just, and righteous?

Kara-Kae James and I are chatting all about it this week. We are also of course talking about how our 1-ness influenced our adoption processes and how it impacts our lives now as adoptive moms...https://theadoptivemompodcast.com/blog/karakaejames2

Show notes
