Adoptees
Helping Adoptees
My vocation in life for several decades has been in Christian leadership. At the same time, I have other interests, and one of my passions is helping adoptees.
In 2012, I became an active part of the adoptee community. I have a passion to reach out to adoptees, connect with them and help them in any way I can. I have been writing since 2012 at www.adopteerestoration.com on adoptee issues and have connected with literally thousands of adoptees there as well as on social media. Additionally, many people have been impacted through two books I have written about my journey as an adoptee. These books are Worthy to Be Found and Restored.
I am now providing Spiritual Direction sessions for adoptees, on a very limited basis.
A few things to know:
- I am a BSE adoptee, in reunion, who has experienced and moved forward from secondary rejection.
- I understand how hard it is to find trauma-informed help, as an adoptee, particularly in the church or in Christian settings.
- I realize how hard it is for many adoptees to approach a faith conversation at all.
My qualifications for providing spiritual direction are that I hold a Masters in Ministerial Leadership, as well as a Doctorate of Ministry from Southeastern University, and 36 years of experience serving full time as a vocational minister.
If you are interested in scheduling a session, email me at deannashrodes@gmail.com for further information. The fee for sessions is on a sliding scale, depending upon each person’s situation.
