Ep. 057 - Adoption had never been something I (Kristen) saw myself doing. I always imagined I'd have biological children.  Little did I know that 10 years into my marriage, I'd only have three miscarriages,  dozens of doctors visits, and an unexplained diagnosis of infertility to show for it. Although I felt lost and broken, God had a perfect plan. I'll be totally honest. The thought of adoption scared me. I was extremely fearful  and often overcome with anxiety about the "what ifs."

Thankfully God never left me. He never gave up on me. Through prayer, and a ton of support from family and friends, my husband and I stepped out in faith. This is my story of becoming mommy to my two sweet boys.
