In this episode of the Unprofessional Parenting Podcast, Matt and Laney sit down with Biblical counselor, Josh Waulk of Baylight Counseling, to unpack the powerful connection between attachment and the theology of adoption. Together, we explore how understanding attachment styles can help foster parents build trust, create stability, and form secure bonds with children from difficult backgrounds.
This conversation also digs into the gospel’s picture of adoption—how God welcomes us into His family—and how that truth shapes the way we parent foster and adopted children. With practical tools, healthy family rhythms, and biblical wisdom, this episode equips you to build a safe and secure home where healing can begin.
