    Our friend Hilary joins us to talk about taking big leaps and thinking outside the box, in seemingly impossible situations. Join us as she shares her story of adding extra kids to her family even when it was “against the rules,” trusting God with all the possibilities, and facing decisions with grace and discernment.

    Stories from the Road: Hannah

    We are so excited for Kate’s sister, Hannah, to be joining us today! Her journey to parenthood through international adoption was long and difficult. So many of us know what that’s like: waiting for a positive pregnancy test, a healthy baby, a placement or a match, and the heartaches and joys that come along the way. We think you will find this episode encouraging to stay the course!
