A Christmas Story of Hope: Holidays Before, During, and After Adoption

In this heartfelt Christmas episode, Kim sits down with adoptive mom and popular creator MaryAnne Budden of OpenlyParenting.com to talk honestly about the holiday season at every stage of the adoption journey.

From the ache of Christmas during infertility…

to the emotional tension of waiting to be chosen…

to the joy—and new complexities—of celebrating Christmas after adoption, MaryAnne shares wisdom, warmth, and real-life stories.

She also opens up about setting healthy boundaries around gift-giving in open adoption and how her family approaches Christmas with love and intention.

If you’re an adoptive parent, waiting family, or anyone touched by adoption, this episode will remind you that hope is alive, God is faithful, and you’re not walking this season alone.

Tune in for encouragement, practical insights, and a fresh Christmas perspective, no matter where you are in the journey.
