Be JOYFUL in Hope... and REST... 

We want to connect with you. We want to support you in your motherhood journey that involved these adopted little (or bigger) people. It's our hope that you come and find time to refresh; that you'll be able to take deep breaths and learn that you are NOT alone, crazy, or lost. Come and be encouraged. Come and soak up some light so that you may go back into your everyday life and shine your HOPE to those in your home and those around you. Come and find like-minded mommas on a somewhat same journey as you are. 

This year, our focus will be to finding JOY in our hope, maybe to learn ways to give us a bit more patience (gulp, did we just say that?!) in our affliction, and to be encouraged to be faithful in our prayers. Will you join us? 

Registration is now CLOSED!
