Looking for Male Christian to talk to

Another woman here. Sorry. Ditto on the good luck.

Birth Father here and I too consider myself a Christan. So why is it so important that you talk to me. If I can help then I can only try, what more would you ask. bprice215

What is a birth father? Excuse my being naive Also (Im NOT trying to be "harsh" or "crass") What does this have to do with my wanting to talk to an adopted male who is a Christian?

You didn't say that you wanted to speak with an "adopted" male who is a Christian. Yes, you are in a Christian Adoptee Fellowship forum, but others regularly visit a variety of forums, as sometimes it is very helpful to receive honest input from others with an outside perspective of a common situation. I too had considered offering any assistance, as I consider myself Christian. However, I am an parent of adoptive children, and didn't figure I'd have much to help you with. If you do need advice, or just a sounding board, we're here for you regardless of whether we have been adopted, have adopted children, or have placed children for adoption.

a "birth father" is a biological father of an adopted child. sometimes for short on the posts we call them bfathers or bdads. a "birth mother" is a biological mother of an adopted child. i too am female, and not born again christian, so sorry i can't offer you any help besides listening. good luck

Good point. I should have been specific. Thanks

I have found that often my greatest sources of healing come from unexpected sources ... people who have points of view that, at first, make me angry or defensive or sad ... usually some negative emotion. But after a while I grow and learn and come around to a place I would never have thought I would end up. Don't be too narrow with your choices ... people with exactly the same beliefs as you in the same life situation often just fuel your current feelings without challenging you to learn and grow ... not always a nice process, but necessary for healing.

Jane :)You are correct and I agree. My situation is that Ive recieved input from Christians, non-christians, buddhist, new-agers, adoptive parents, etc, etc,, etc,,,and its all been good BUT....Ive havent found a male, around my age with the same belief system, struggling with similar issues. So, Ive been down the path that you are suggesting and am looking to go down a different path. But, I really appreciate your thoughts and idea. Thanks!

Well, I guess there are no male Christians who were adopted on this site.. Moving on

wow...long

wow...long time

wow...long time ago...but

Wow...I guess I made the right choice

This board seems to move really REALLY slowly...you might try on some of the others...and dont necessarily think you wont EVER find what you want just by the title of the forum :) :love:

Hi jazzdrummer and I have not been as active on this website the past year for I returned to work after many years of volunteering- doing alot of volunteer adoption writing and support group facilitating of adoption triad support groups. I have lead local adoption triad groups for adult adoptees, birth parents and adoptive parents. I know some Christian male adoptees and if you PM me, I could e-mail some of them and see if they would correspond with you. I was the editor of Adoption Blessings Journal, a Christian 20 page publication for adult adoptees, birth parents and adoptive parents. I published 9 issues, and it was a free outreach journal. It became too expensive to print and postage costs also escalated. Did you know that Michael Reagan, son of former president Ronald Reagan is an adoptee and a Christian. He has a book out called Twice Adopted- sharing his journey as an adoptee, and his journey of faith. I know there are some other books by Christian male adoptees, so I will be able to remember them. It is important to connect with other adoptees for understanding and navigating the adoption journey with others. Again, sorry for sharing here on the Christian adoptee fellowship!
