Adoption is an easy decision for some and a very difficult decision for others. It was very difficult for me.
God used 58 months of infertility to soften my heart to adoption - more like meat-tenderize my heart to adoption. And even then, I had so much fear. So much fear about mothering a child I did not birth and having a relationship with the woman who did.
The truth is, adoption is not natural, intended, or ideal. But it is perfect.
It’s a triad - birth family, adoptive family, and child - of imperfect beings stepping into God’s perfect plan to redeem brokenness in families.
Listen in for the honest, messy truth.
