Podcast appearances and mentions of Karyn B Purvis

*Hi guys! Liesel here. I wanted to let you know that the Mommy Labor Nurse podcast as you know it is currently getting a HUGE facelift! In the meantime, please enjoy this re-air of a fan favorite episode!! And stay tuned to my instagram for updates on when the new and improved Mommy Labor Nurse podcast will be back with all new episodes!* ****** Caitlin Karl, a fellow mom who's actually currently pregnant, came on to share all about her journey to adopting her son AJ. Caitlin shares that she and her husband always knew they wanted to grow their family through adoption and biologically, and was never really quite sure in what order it would happen. Ultimately, they decided to pursue adoption first because they knew there was a lot of time, resources, and energy required to go through the process of adopting a baby. So in the summer of 2019, they started the whole process and by July they brought their sweet baby boy home. Caitlyn Karl's Bio: Caitlyn Karl is a working mom who lives in the suburbs of Chicago with her husband Jake, son AJ, and soon daughter (due at the beginning of June). Caitlyn and Jake started their family through the adoption of their son this past year.  You can find Caitlyn Karl on social media here: Instagram: @k.adoption.journey Resources from the episode: Be the Bridge Transracial Adoption Guide The Connected Child: Bring Hope and Healing to Your Adoptive Family Book by David R.

Jennifer Uren - A Surprise Adoption Times TWO! Any time I hear the word adoption, I always think about God's heart for the orphan, namely me, or any of His children that have chosen Him as their heavenly Father. The transitioning from one family to another and yet not having lost your connection in your family of origin. My experience has been that tuning into God's vision and value system for relationship helps you love your earthly family much better. So when I heard about my guest, Jennifer Uren's, unconventional adoption, I was up for the conversation. I wanted to hear her personal thoughts and reflections on how she perceived God's heart for the orphan, especially since she wasn't looking to adopt and the process of adoption was the fastest I've ever heard of.  Not looking to adopt, going from one child to two and their arrival in a matter of weeks, that made for a very difficult transition for her and her family of 5. As I listened to her talk about why she didn't see the adoption as a rescue, it really got my mind churning as to how God does not simply rescue us, but that He has a much more intimate and satisfying purpose in mind when He calls to us Himself. Jennifer talked about the importance of educating oneself on trauma, but that understanding connection was the game changer. And she suggested the book that gave her that much needed breakthrough. It's titled The Connected Child: Bring Hope and Healing to Your Adoptive Family by Karyn B. Purvis.  As we wrapped up the conversation, she shares one more thing that she's learned about God in the difficult transitioning process, and I could immediately apply it to my life. It seems the more conversations I have with those who share their stories of holding their trauma up for inspection through the lens of their relationship with Christ, it becomes increasingly clear. All the diversity, all the creativity, all the shades of skin that human beings embody-- we all find unity in Christ.

Josh and Amy Martin in conversation with Host Brian Frye (Twitter @brifrye). They discuss their personal experience adopting their daughter, and the spiritual implications adoption has for the believer. Josh (Twitter: @joshmmartin) is the pastor of Resonate Pullman and author of the memoir, Saturday Nothing: The Words I Wrote While Waiting on Jesus. He was one of the original church-planters who started Resonate Church at its first location in Pullman Washington. Josh and Amy adopted through CCAI, but would recommend several agencies and encourage listeners to look into their local foster care opportunities. For more information on adoption they recommend the following books and resources.

She has 2 bio daughters + 1 adopted son from China, and all 3 have Treacher Collin Syndrome. Corin shares openly about the challenges and joys in raising children with special needs. Her and her husband not only had to learn the new language of medical jargon, but they had to learn American Sign Language (ASL) to communicate with their children! She even discusses how the local church can love on families within the body in similar life circumstances. But not only that, we talk at length about adoption! Like all adoption stories, it is a beautiful testimony that is a tangible representation of the gospel. Even if you’re not a parent of a child with special needs or do not feel led to adopt, we hope this conversation will encourage you to respond to your costly adoption into the family of God by being an active member of a local church that rallies around families in these life seasons.   Connect with us: www.dailygracepodcast.com www.thedailygraceco.com https://www.facebook.com/thedailygraceco/ https://www.instagram.com/thedailygraceco/   Questions?
