Written by Pat’s adoptive mom “Nothing will go to Pat because she’s never been a part of this family”

Pat shares memories of growing up in two orphanages, the joy of adoption, and the pain that followed when her adoptive mother turned cruel. Through many painful years of rejection and loneliness, God provided comfort, role models, and ultimately redemption. Pat’s story of forgiveness and finding Jesus at 29 ultimately led her to a life of full-time missions with her husband and three children.
