Empowered To Connect Conference: Nashville, TN

"Empowered to Connect" is a fantastic resource started by Dr. Karyn Purvis and Michael & Amy Monroe. Their purpose is to equip families with post adoption resources. They started a web site with all kinds of empowering resources, including a study guide that is designed to help illuminate the biblical principles that serve as the foundation for the philosophy and interventions detailed in Dr. Purvis' book called "The Connected Child".
