What is the first thing that comes to mind when you think about adoption? Beth Syverson is an adoptive mom and an advocate for adoptees. She will explain the many shades of gray inherent in adoption and will explain why some of the popular cultural tropes around adoption can be harmful to adoptees. Besides Beth, you will also hear from adoptees themselves, both in word and in song. You will walk away more aware of the complexities of adoption, and with tools to better support adoptive families in our church and community. Beth is our beloved Director of Music Ministries at OCUUC.
