Coming March 26th

ADOPTION MATTERS

ADOPTION MATTERS, a vlog and podcast with real people sharing real stories and getting real about adoption from all three perspectives of the adoption triad.

Join co-hosts Kim Noeth, a birth mother, Sharon Butler-Obazee, an adoptee and Sally Ankerfelt, an adoptive parent as we explore difficult topics and share frank conversations guided by our commitment to truth-telling and truth-seeking.
In each episode we discuss important issues using adoption attuned principles to help us navigate even the most sensitive topics with grace and respect.

Together, we model courageous communication, and help create a community where anxiety can be reduced, and mutual understanding can prevail.

Whether you are an adoptee, a birth parent or adoptive parent, or a member of the adoption constellation, we are excited to share our stories, insights and support.

Growing Intentional Families Together coaches are shocked and saddened by the murder of George Floyd and other people of color around our nation. We know that adoptive parents and families, many of whom are transracial, continue to contemplate how they can raise healthy children of color despite the racism, injustice, and social inequities that persist. Silence is not an option.
