It feels like God gave me that creative solution, you know, like I am going to miss the fact that I'm not there with them, but I wasn't there with them anyways.

Like I was in service or like wrangling a toddler in the lobby.

It wasn't this picturesque experience where our family got closer, you know.

And so they're going to get another family while Neil's gone that maybe they can open up to if they're like struggling.

I mean, I just, I feel really excited about that creative idea and I think it came from God because I would not have come up with it on my own.

I don't think I was just laying in bed one night and it just like dawned on me.

It doesn't have to be black or white. I love the third option.

You know, like here's the third thing you could do to kind of satisfy your older kids.

They can develop relationships with this new, like a, not a new family, but like a different deeper relationship with their new family.

That's called adoption.

I'm adopting them now.

I literally wrote the text in that frame like, can you adopt my child?

Okay.

What would be fun if you got like distracted in the middle and you sent the first half?

Can you adopt my child?

Period.

Send.
