Our guest today, Sara Easterly  is an author and essayist who wrote a spiritual memoir called “Searching for Mom”. She writes about adoption, parenting, and grief through the lens of her Christian faith.  We go into how using faith to justify adoption can make adoptees feel alienated  and insignificant by framing adoption as a “blessing”. And her answer to my final  question “where to apply courage” was one of my favorites. Let's lean in!
