ABOUT:

MARIE BAARS

Marie is married to Gary and they are a part of Central Community Church where Matt serves as Pastor. They have two adopted children, Noah and Hannah, and have fostered 6 children (currently 3) — that is a busy house! Marie’s journey through infertility and on to adoption and foster care involved a lot of grief, hardship and faith struggle and yet she has seen God’s hand of kindness and calling through it. These are the subject matter of our conversation.

Here is some reading she highly recommends: Reframing Foster Care: Filtering Your Foster Parenting Journey Through The Lens of the Gospel and The Connected Child: Bring Hope and Healing to Your Adoptive Family.
