“Our Adoption Is Saturated In God”
"God got us here, and He will see us through." These words ring through the mind of nearly every believer at some point in life. It's confusing when God calls us to do things we'd never plan for ourselves. But, as is evident by the following testimony, when…
Chosen to Adopt
Many families deal with the harsh reality of infertility. And for these families, adoption can feel like Plan B. Such was the case for Andrew and Bonnie. But a word from God led to a shift in their perspective. The following is Bonnie's testimony. My husband Andrew and…
From Stranger to Daughter in 13 Hours
Like many things in life, adoption rarely happens "according to plan." Josh & Kelsey planned to adopt a newborn, but God had a different idea in mind. Not only would they adopt a 19-month-old, but they would bring her home less than 24 hours after learning about her.…
Putting Together Their Family Puzzle
We believe God intended all children to be in a safe and loving Christian family. But sometimes, that intention isn't always obvious. Some families struggle to stay together. Adoptions can take years or fall through altogether. Things don't always happen as we see fit. But God is always…
“We Get To Be His Family!”
The statistics hold true–older children are less likely to be adopted. And in Ukraine, as these young adults age out of orphanages, 70% will face organized crime, prostitution, suicide or drug overdose within two years.

The Perfect Author Wrote Their Story

You Helped Bring This Son Home
Through their journey as parents, James and Lyndsi have walked through deep valleys and set their feet on high mountains. In James’ words– We have always tried to plan out what we thought our lives would look like. We thought we knew, but God had other ideas…
Their Daughter Arrived Just In Time For Christmas
This year, thousands of children will experience the holidays without a family, and thousands of families willing to adopt will go through this season waiting for their child. But we take heart in stories like the Girlando family's, being reassured that God works in big ways to bring…
Where are they now? | The Jones Family
We had the privilege of first sharing Jack and Lindsay's powerful adoption story in 2017. Their story resonated deeply–not because it's a testimony of ease, but rather, because it's a story of redemption. A year has passed since their journey was first published, and adoption still impacts their…
Where are they now? | The Hamon Family
We love telling you how God has moved mountains to bring children into loving families. Over the past year, we've gotten to share some pretty amazing adoption journeys–one of those being Chris and Katie's (you might remember their original story). Katie recently caught us up to speed on…
