Let's Talk Adoption

In Part 2 of Tiffany's incredible adoption journey, we continue the story after her family's first Safe Haven adoption and discover how God surprised them yet again with a second unexpected call.

After adopting their son through Florida's Safe Haven program, Tiffany and her husband thought they would spend months waiting to be matched for a second adoption. Instead, less than two months after becoming active again, they received another life-changing phone call: there was a baby girl who needed a family.

This time, however, the journey looked very different.

Tiffany shares the emotional experience of saying yes to a baby who had experienced prenatal drug exposure, navigating legal complexities, bonding with her daughter in the NICU, and walking through the challenges of bringing home a baby who was experiencing withdrawal symptoms.

Throughout the conversation, Tiffany offers a candid look at the realities of adoption, the importance of community support, and how God used both the joys and struggles of parenting to deepen her faith.

Whether you're considering adoption, currently waiting, or simply need encouragement to trust God in an uncertain season, this episode is filled with hope, practical wisdom, and reminders of God's faithfulness.

What happens when a normal Monday turns into the day you become a parent?

In this powerful episode of Let’s Talk Adoption, Kim sits down with Tiffany to share the incredible story of how she and her husband Joshua became parents through Safe Haven adoption.

Before adopting, Tiffany and Joshua spent years serving overseas as missionaries in Thailand, trusting God through unexpected turns, closed doors, and major life changes. After returning to the United States to pursue adoption, they had no idea that God was orchestrating a story far beyond anything they could have planned.

Just months after becoming active in their adoption program, Tiffany received a life-changing phone call. A baby had been safely surrendered under Florida’s Safe Haven law, and they were being asked if they would become his family.
