“The information, resources and community we’ve found at The Gathering Well have been transformative for our family. Previously, we were struggling with how to deal with our daughters’ behaviors stemming from adoption trauma. At The Gathering Well, we found we weren’t alone in our struggle, and we learned practical ways to help our daughters while deepening our relationships with them. The speakers are world-class, with research-based information and real-world experience, always biblically-based, and willing to answer our specific questions. The community at The Gathering Well is authentic and encouraging, giving us an opportunity to discuss our unique situations.  And, child-care is a dream, with a huge team of trauma-informed professionals who both teach and love on our children, making it one of their favorite nights of every month. We only wish we’d had this resource prior to our adoptions! Whether you’re dreaming of adopting or fostering, or already in the throws, I’d highly recommend The Gathering Well as part of your support system!”
