After growing up in the Pacific Northwest, Karen Springs lived and served in Kyiv, Ukraine for over fourteen years advocating for orphaned and at-risk children and working with hundreds of adoptive families. Additionally, Karen has managed humanitarian and child advocacy projects throughout Europe, Central Asia and the Middle East with Orphan’s Promise.  In 2017 Karen set out on a road trip across the US to explore what happens after adoptive families bring their children home and real life begins. Using her own experiences and those of the 63 adoptive families she interviewed, Karen wrote her first book, Adoption Through the Rear-view Mirror, where she explores the brokenness and beauty found in adoption.  With a background in performing arts, production and writing, she is passionate about using those gifts to advance God’s Kingdom and see nations collaborate in solving their orphan and vulnerable children crisis. Today she serves as the Communications Director at World Without Orphans. Order Adoption Throu
