Guiding Star Marshalltown announces a new program offering led by Sarah Trosen. This group will support families who are in the early stages of adoption or who have adopted through private, foster or kinship care. The next meeting is from 6 p.m. to 7 p.m. on Aug. 16 at 2501 S. Center St., Suite M, Marshalltown.
Free, reserved child care is provided during the session. Those needing child care must register no later than Aug. 14 at guidingstarmarshalltown.org, click on Events, go to Navigating Adoption Support, go to Read More, then to Register to complete. People may also call 641-351-4041 during regular business hours, 10 a.m. to 4 p.m., Monday to Thursday.
Rooted in faith, this group will help bring the focus back to Jesus in the midst of the process, while offering support as parents navigate all aspects of adoption, including helping children process loss, the waiting seasons, attachment and trauma.
Trosen has spent the last 15 years serving as a Children and Family Pastor. She is a mom of three, all added to her family through adoption; giving her both professional experience and a deeply personal understanding of the journey. Trosen has a B.A. in Youth and Family Ministry from Vennard College, she is a licensed pastor with the Church of the Nazarene and she is a member of the planting team for Restore Church in Marshalltown.
