In Part 2 of this powerful conversation about adoption, Vikki Parker welcomes Terri Rosson back to Sit on That Stump in Muddy Bottom to go deeper into the realities of adoption, identity, belonging, and the role of the Church.

How can adoptive parents help a child understand their story without shame or feelings of rejection? How can Christians change the language surrounding birth mothers and adoption? And what would happen if churches became places where women facing unexpected pregnancies knew they would receive grace, practical help, and genuine support?

Vikki and Terri explore the biblical picture of adoption and God's heart for vulnerable children, while challenging believers to move beyond simply being pro-life in principle and become actively involved in the lives of women, babies, and families. They discuss practical ways churches can partner with pregnancy centers, support single mothers, encourage adoption, provide resources, and create communities where no woman feels she has to face an unexpected pregnancy alone.

Terri also shares from her personal experience as a birth mother and explains why healthy conversations, testimony, grace, and carefully chosen words can make such a profound difference. As the conversation makes clear, adoption isn't about a mother simply "giving away" her child—it can be an extraordinarily difficult parenting decision made out of love.

This episode ultimately asks an important question of every Christian and every church: What can we do to make sure women facing unexpected pregnancies know they are loved, supported, and never alone?
