Excited to crack open this new arrival! Feeling so thankful to have one more piece of encouragement and wisdom from Dr. Karyn Purvis.

As we plan our next Casual Conversation gathering, we are thinking about the topic of race. Knowing how very big that is, we’d like to hear from you. Given the challenges you are feeling, how could we focus our conversation to best care for you so you can best care for your family? Leave a comment or send a private message if you prefer to help us focus our conversation to best serve you. We’re listening. credit: Angela Weiss/Getty Images.

The questions are coming in for tomorrow night's virtual get-together, and we can't wait to hear what else you want to chat about! Don't forget to "reserve your spot" so we can get you the meeting invite. See you there!

Our Casual Conversations look a little bit different right now, but different CAN be OK! For a change, let's focus on something, anything else other than what our timelines are taken over by right now. Join us next week, zoom-style, for an interactive, supportive conversation about some of these other things. When you RSVP and Reserve Your Spot you will be asked to submit your questions/topics ahead of time so that we can prepare a conversation guide and focus on any adoption-related topic that’s on your mind. w/ The Sparrow Fund
