Congratulations Pam and Aaron!

Gentle faith, bravery and perseverance are the wonderful characteristics of what guided this lovely couple's adoption journey.  These traits, and a strong faith in God also helped them adopt quickly -- in just five months after officially joining our CAC family.

I had the joy of meeting Pam and Aaron way back in late January of last year, as they started researching adoption as a way to build their family.

After reviewing all their options, they officially signed on with Christian Adoption Consultants in April, and started working on completing their home study certification.

They persevered through all of the Home Study paper chase requirements, and were home study ready by late May.  In June, they were able to send their Family Profile books to the agencies with whom we work most closely.

Pam and Aaron were brave and persistent -- answering a "yes," to the various adoption cases I shared with them. They trusted that the Lord would write their story and bring their little one home to them.

Their persistence paid off when one early September morning I was able to call them and share that they had been SELECTED by an expectant mom in a city just a few hours away from us. The description of what she wanted her son's future mother to be like fit Pam to a "T."

And her due date was just a two weeks away.  Just enough time to make final nursery preparations and pack a few travel bags!

This much anticipated, sweet little man was born just 10 days after that exciting phone call ---  and almost exactly 9 months after Pam and Aaron first inquired about CAC.

Congratulations, Pam and Aaron!

adoption story - Stacy

Stacy is one of the many wonderful single mamas I've worked with over the years. She is also a huge encouragement to other moms wanting to adopt as a single person.    I first spoke with Stacy three years ago, when she was contemplating adoption, along with the support of her family and friends.  Stacy bravely dove into the process, and her first child was born just a few months after becoming home study ready. Here's a glimpse about her path to motherhood! “Stacy, why don’t you go ahead and adopt now.”     This was the fourth time in a MONTH I’d heard similar words. But, I was struggling with the idea of being a single mom. Motherhood is hard enough. And as a single, I was happy with my freedom to go workout, hang with friends, and travel internationally whenever I wanted outside my “teacher life.” So, once again, I buried the thought of adopting as a single woman.   It took two more years and a bit more prompting before I realized not o

adoption story - erin + clayton

Erin and Clayton were so kind to share a part of their adoption journey with me. Their son just turned "one," and they are looking back at God's gracious hand on each part of their journey, especially during an unexpected medical crisis. Here's an excerpt from Erin's personal journal.  Thank you so much for sharing your heart with us, Erin! ******    **** *****   *****   ******    **** *****   *****   ******    **** *****   *****   ******    **** *****   ***** The idea of adoption had been on my heart for many years. I felt the call strongly in my college years, so when Clayton and I began to plan and start our life together, I made sure to communicate this desire to him, and he was supportive. We hoped we would answer this call someday, but we were not quite sure when that time would be.  As we began trying to grow our family, we faced unforeseen fertility issues, but God graciously allowed us to conceive our first son, Jude. A few years later, we felt re

adoption story: meredith and chase

Image
I had the pleasure of serving Chase and Meredith on their journey to parenthood. They became a family of four in a wonderful way! They signed on with me in November of 2018, and their sweet twins were born in early April of 2019. Now that their whirlwind year has slowed down a bit, I connected with Meredith to get her thoughts on what they learned through their adoption journey. What first led you to adoption? :  We have always felt called to adopt. Even before we were married we had discussed adoption. We knew there could be a possibility that we would never have biological children because Chase is a cancer survivor. We decided to go all in and start the adoption process. We knew it was the right decision immediately. We felt peace from God and had an overwhelming amount of support from our family and friends. God was walking with us each step of the process.  What would you share with families starting the adoption process?: We had an amazing adoption
