Adoption in Montana: Supporting Women, Children, and Families | With Brinn Higinbotham (Ep.14)

In this episode of The Abort Ignorance Montana Podcast, host Tanaia Puchta sits down with Brinn Higinbotham of Sacred Portion Children's Outreach to discuss the realities of adoption, the needs of vulnerable children and families, and how Montanans can become part of the solution. Together, they explore common misconceptions about adoption, the challenges facing children in need of permanent families, and the opportunities for churches, communities, and individuals to support women, children, and adoptive families. This conversation highlights adoption not simply as an alternative, but as a life-affirming response that requires compassion, commitment, and community. Brinn's path into social work was shaped by a deep desire to connect with others, provide support, and make a lasting impact in the lives of children and families. Her early experiences included working in Applied Behavior Analysis (ABA), supporting children with developmental needs, and walking alongside individuals who had experienced trauma from interpersonal violence. These formative roles gave her a strong foundation in empathy, communication, and trauma-informed care. Over time, she felt called to use what she had learned in a way that more fully aligned with her faith and passion for serving others. Whether you're considering adoption, supporting a loved one through an adoption journey, or simply want to learn more about how Montana can better care for women, children, and families, this episode offers practical insights and an encouraging vision for the future.
