I do not see a way to share a new group to the public feed.

Welcome! I'm so glad that you are here. I'm the adoptive mother of two, biological mother of three, and soon-to-be stepmother of three. Whew! That's a lot of kids and a lot of juggling and let's be honest....a lot of potential problems.

I have walked dozens of people through the adoption process from start to finish. I'm passionate about finding the right fit for everyone.

The Lord does not call everyone to adoption, but He does call all of us to care for widows and orphans. For some of us, that means bringing home children and making them our own. Even that has about a million different nuances and choices.

So, let's dig in. Let's find out where you fit into God's plan for the orphan!

I love this guy's videos. One of them was pretty integral to me starting my journey toward becoming Orthodox. He just posted this one today, pretty cool, would love to go visit this shrine.

Very minor, but if I add a : + D to my post or comment, it does not display it as a laughing emoji. And when I go back to edit, there was no emoji option in the editing. Again, not a big deal, but thought I would mention. (And we are certainly capable of getting used to a new platform.)
