Kinistry Cafe
An informal conversation about parenting and adoption -- twice a month and free!
Dr. Kris Freeark will host each cafe. Starting out with a topic in mind, she may tell a story, share a finding about adoption that might surprise you, or invite a guest.
From there, parents are invited to join in and shape the conversation.
Kris brings insights as an adoptive mother, family therapist, child psychologist, and adoption researcher.
Parents bring a rich variety of perspectives, thoughtful questions, and personal experiences.
Together, this provides a forum to reflect on strengths, challenges and successes in family life.
