Adoption Tell-All: Everything Went Wrong. Nothing Was an Accident.


Listen Later

We were supposed to be home in two days.

That's what we thought when Amanda flew alone to Austin, Texas to meet our brand-new son — four pounds, three ounces, and so tiny it took your breath away. Jonathan stayed back in Omaha with a sick kid and a house to hold together. It was supposed to be a quick NICU stay. Feed and grow. Home by the weekend.

It was anything but.

In this episode, we're telling the whole story — the adoption tell-all our community has been waiting for. We're talking about the email that came on our other son's birthday and what it felt like when we both just knew. We're talking about the NICU honeymoon that turned into a medical emergency. We're talking about the flight out of Omaha that should have already left — and somehow wasn't gone yet. We're talking about walking into a Maronite Catholic church across the street from a children's hospital and hearing a priest say our son's name out loud before the Liturgy.

We're talking about the moment it became impossible to believe any of this was accidental.

This one doesn't have a lot of financial teaching in it. That's okay. Sometimes a story is just a story — and this one is one of the best ones we've ever lived.

Peter is home. He is loved. And God had His hands on every single detail.
