Adopt & Foster | Equip Moms’ Retreat

Join us for worship, meals, laughter & and time to connect with current and prospective foster/adoptive/kinship moms.

Daniela Coats will be joining us! Daniela grew up as a “birth kid,” her parents having fostered and adopted. She and her husband now have six children – four through adoption and two by birth.

Daniela obtained her Masters of Social Work from the University of Texas at Arlington and also holds an undergraduate degree in Bible. Daniela founded With Siblings in 2022, an organization dedicated to supporting birth children in foster and adoptive families by equipping parents and professionals through training and resources.

Registration includes dinner Friday night, breakfast Saturday morning, Saturday lunch & plenty of drinks and snacks in between! Crossroads Bible Church has generously provided their space for this event! For those who want to add an overnight stay, you can make reservations at the Embassy Suites by Hilton Grand Rapids, which is just a short walk across the river!

If finances are a barrier to attending, we have scholarships available! Please email Jamie Bartlett at jbartlett@crossroads-bible.org
