Summary
Could you imagine your parents giving you away? That’s exactly what happened to Amy Main. As a young child, she was placed in the foster care system, shuffled from house to house, and endured abuse. She was turned down by the parents who adopted her sister, and even after being adopted herself, her parents eventually relinquished their rights.
But that’s not the end of the story. Amy joins us to share her powerful testimony of God’s love penetrating the darkest of circumstances. She also exposes the deep problems within the foster care system yet reminds us that even when a child suffers through unimaginable hardship, life is still worthwhile and God’s hope is present for every soul.
You’ll be inspired and challenged as Amy’s story reminds us that we are all lost children like her and we have an adoptive Father who loves us, dignifies us, and calls us His own. Don't miss this episode.

| 0:00.0 | You had been abused by your dad. You're being abused in this first foster care. They adopt your sister, but then they say they don't want you. Everybody has something. Guess what? There's somebody that's worse than mine. The only time that tears came to your eyes so far in this conversation we were having is when you're talking about how you didn't love your husband as much as you wish you had. I can't control what happened to me as a child, but I absolutely can't now also allow other people to be victimized to my own victimhood. I think that there's a lot of incentive to have a broken system. You're the president of America and you're like, fix the adoption and foster care system. What would you do? I don't think that it's about pumping a much of money into it. Is foster care worse than not being born? |

| 1:17.0 | of the struggles of some children in foster care, this is the reason why we need abortion |
