Customer Reviews
Thankful
I’m a hopeful one day adoptive parent who wishes adoption didn’t have to exist. But because of the brokenness of the world, precious souls are growing without belonging, and I feel called to learn from those souls while “staying” as you have said before. As we pray for God’s will in the future for an ethical and only if absolutely necessary for the true best interest of the child/children adoption, I’ve been following adult adoptee and birth mom voices for the last few years. What a joy to find your beautiful podcast. Honored to listen to both your stories and those shared by your guests. You are the first male voices I have heard on the topic, something I have long hoped for. If God wills, may your sharing bear fruit in blessing to the souls we may steward in the future. As we all long for our eternal home together, I grieve for your losses with you, celebrate your gifts with you, and hope to enjoy our Father’s home together by His Love unearned one day. Thank you both such a lot again.
