Congratulations Nolan and Nicole!

I absolutely love this couple!

Nolan and Nicole signed on with me in mid April of this year, after waiting with a small agency in their community for over a year. They were ready to broaden their network and hear about more potential adoption situations.

They had also gone through a heartbreaking adoption failure as well, in May of 2015, with their previous agency.

They, like my other families, have the most beautiful hearts for the Lord, and were eager to see how He would write their story to add a third family member! Their desire was also to minister to their future child’s first family as well, as they were going through a crisis pregnancy.

As they were already home study ready, they were able to immediately start applying with our agency and attorney partners.  Nicole and Nolan bravely presented to several cases, and had to hear that difficult “no” that came with it.

As Nicole says, “Our failed adoption was May 2015. Sweet Micah's birth mother decided to parent. The anniversary of our failed adoption fell on the same date of our first situation we were showing for with CAC. Hearing “No” was hard! It was interesting to process that feeling of rejection on top of each other but through the "No" we clung to hope. We needed to feel what rejection felt like so we could be better parents for our special someone.”

Still - despite the anniversary that brought them so low, they carried on, sure that the Lord had a plan.

And might I add —  while they were waiting, they also happened to host one of the most beautiful adoption fundraisers I have ever seen — a compilation of lullabies, beautifully performed by friends of Nolan, who works in the music industry.  This would be a wonderful gift for anyone you know who is welcoming a new baby home.

They pressed on.

One day in July, I called them with a special case out of state for them to consider.

And the baby was due any day! There were lots of unknowns.

But Nicole and Nolan were brave.  They said “yes” to showing their profile book.

And….

It was a match!  And almost immediately afterward, the expectant mother went into labor!  Out of state!

Just three months after joining the CAC family, Nolan and Nicole’s sweet daughter was born, and they raced to the hospital to meet her and her sweet birth parents. 

Meet sweet Libby!  Isn’t she adorable?  And check out mom and dad waiting to meet their sweet baby in the hospital.  (Please tell me that I am not the only one who got chills looking at this!?!  THIS is exactly how it feels!!)


....... and after

(My heart exploded a little bit at seeing these photos taken by the nurse on duty, who was documenting their meeting!)






Congratulations, Nolan and Nicole!!  I am so THRILLED to see your family grow!  God Bless You!

adoption story - Stacy

Image
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
