Hi friends and welcome to the happy hour. My name is Jamie Ivy and I am your host and

I'm so glad that you're here with us today. The Happy Hour is a podcast that is just what

it is. It's a happy hour. It's me and another girlfriend talking about important things,

silly things, whatever's going on in their world, whatever's going on in my world. It's

just a fun conversation that I hope you'll enjoy listening to. Today my friend, this

joining me is my friend Debra Parker and I have known her since about 2007 since then we

have both adopted children from Haiti. We both have begun working with sex trafficking

in our cities and she says an awesome story that I think you're really going to enjoy.

Today we talk about Instagram, people that we follow, we talk about adoption, we talk

about sex trafficking, we talk about books we're reading, ladies we've seen. I think you're

going to enjoy it. So this is my friend Debra and I also want to say thank you to a couple

of people who have left comments. Alex Keen left a comment on Stitcher and they said happy

Also great conversations about adoption and I always walk away with the recommendations.

I love that. I love to read and I love to hear what other people are reading and I always

ask my guests for their reading. Sarah Amelia said this is the perfect podcast to listen

to while I drive my husband to and from work. I feel like I'm right there dropping in on

a conversation amongst friends. I love hearing other women's stories and being able to

identify and being encouraged by them. Sarah that is exactly why I do happy hour because

I love women's stories. I love connecting women to other women and I love people getting

encouraged by other people's stories. Another Sarah loved a comment on Stitcher and she said
