Chosen As Daughters

Adoption Is Daunting… And That’s Okay
International adoption is costly. (In more ways than one.) For that reason, and many others, the whole process—from fundraising to homecoming to finding a routine—can seem intimidating, challenging, daunting.

Proof That Your Waiting Has Purpose

Instant streaming. Microwave dinners. If only adoption was that simple... A family we supported with an interest-free loan recently…

All in His Perfect Time
Taylor and Erin had been married for nearly five years when they first began their adoption journey. From the beginning of their marriage, they had a passion for children. After several years of waiting, hoping, and praying for a child, it became clear that their journey would not…
Reaching the Fatherless Among the Unreached
There are orphans in every country and every people group around the world. The fatherless are in our communities, and the fatherless are often among the unreached. Who are the unreached? According to the Joshua Project, an unreached people group is one in which there is no…
With God, No Adoption Expense Is Too Great
We believe money should never be the reason a child doesn't have a family. Adoption expenses are often one of the most significant barriers for families. At Lifesong, we have the privilege of seeing God work miracles in the lives of adoptive families every day. Zachariah and Erica…
