The Adopting and Fostering Home
Religion & Spirituality:Christianity
While adoption is celebrated as a joyous moment for families, it is also a response to a tragedy or breakdown in a family’s life and/or community. Co-hosts Lynette Ezell and Tera Melber speak with Kimber Graves, who works for Orphan Care Alliance in Louisville, Kentucky, on grief and loss in adoption. Apply Kimber’s practical and sage advice to your life as you discover how Kimber watched and experienced grief with her two daughters when they were adopted from China.
