I want to do a broadcast with you two just on lessons learned as adoptive parents,” because there are a lot of them.ĭennis: Barbara and I have an adopted child. Earlier, we heard Katharyn-from you-how, as you received your son in the orphanage, he immediately began acting out all kinds of things-hitting things, turning vases upside down, throwing blocks-and your daughter started crying. Welcome back.ĭennis: They have two adopted children from the Ukraine. Coach Mark Richt and his wife Katharyn join us again on FamilyLife Today.

Mark: We were going to have love-hug therapy for a year.
