God's story, your life.

Unfolding short stories.

After years of wondering if adoption was right for Megan and her family, one day she felt

a leading from God to push her whole agenda aside.

To go home and fast and pray, she spent time in her Bible to learn about what

God's word says about the topic. Ultimately, she and her family did adopt, but what unfolded

after her yes was a season of difficulty. But the entirety of Megan's adoption journey has been

filled with moments where God's call and his presence in the day today was very

clear. When my husband and I got married and we had a couple of kids, a very common question

for most people would be, are you done having kids? Will you have more? And for a while, I would think,

I think we're done having kids, but you never know. If we would, we might adopt. And for a while, I would think, I think we're done having kids, but you never know,

if we would, we might adopt. And I would say that year after year when anybody would ask me

if I was thinking of having more kids. And then there was a summer about 12 years ago when I couldn't

get this thought out of my mind. I was thinking, okay, God, you put adoption on our

heart for some reason.

And I don't know if we're really ready to step into blending our family in that way.

And I would pray about it often enough, and I would think, okay, God, please heal so and so and help me make this direction,

figure out this choice. And, oh, by the way, if we're meant to adopt, would you please

write it in the sky and tell us very plainly that this is what you're calling our family to do?

As I would pray that prayer, I would get so confused about what the answer was.

And I just kept imagining that some tragic event would happen and some kids would be without parents.

And God would say, you know what?
