I am a daughter, wife, mother, and (now) an adoptive mother. Our adoption story is one of signficant pain and loss, yet one that we have watched God fully redeem for His glory after giving up the broken pieces to Him.

14 years in waiting

This was one of the last pictures Julian took with his sister not long before her adoption in 2011. I'll never forget that bittersweet day.

My heart broke for myself to lose her permanently, but it ached for Julian and the empty hole she left in his heart. He loved her so dearly, yet he never even had the chance to officially say goodbye. For years we wondered where she ended up and how he Read more of this blog post »
