Hi, I'm Anna
I know what it feels like to be the adopted child trying to make sense of their story, and I know what it feels like to be the parent holding that story with love, fear, and a thousand unanswered questions.
I don’t believe families need more pressure, more rules, or more performative positivity. I believe they need honesty, support, and language for what they’re living. I believe healing is possible even when the road is messy, slow, or nothing like you hoped it would be.
That's why I'm launching something new.
The Next Chapter
For years, Parenting Different has served as a dedicated home for adoption advocacy, resources, and community. But true advocacy isn't about an organization or a site name; it’s about direct connection, shared stories, and personal championing for families and children.
While Parenting Different is no longer operating in its original form, the heart of this work isn't going anywhere. I'm stepping into an exciting new chapter by centralizing all ongoing advocacy, insights, and resources directly.
ParentingDifferent.com will remain right here as a connection point, but all new updates, projects, and conversations are happening over at my personal site, AnnaBernacki.com.
I hope you join me!
