What to Expect While Fostering and Adopting

You Left the 99 to Save the 1: Devin Schubert’s Story of Fatherhood, Foster Care, Adoption, Trauma & Redemption


Listen Later

This one is for the foster and adoptive parents carrying the weight no one sees—who keep showing up, even when it feels like everything is falling apart.

Today, I’m sitting down with Devin Schubert—an adoptive dad of three—for a conversation about the cost of obedience, the depth of trauma, and the God who restores what we thought was lost forever.

After adopting his son, Devin walked through five years of chaos:

-Explosive trauma
-Daily police calls
-System after system that failed
-And the heartbreak of watching his marriage fall apart

When his wife left, Devin stepped into solo fatherhood, determined to fight for his son—alone.

Until the fight nearly killed him.
 Diagnosed with trauma shock
 Given 3 months to live

Flat on his back, ready to give up, Jesus walked in and said:

“You left the 99 to save the 1. Now I’m giving you the 99 to tell your story to the nations.”

And now—four years later—his son is being reunited with him and moving back home in just 4 months.

This episode is a story of resilience, radical love, and full-circle redemption for every parent who’s ever wondered, “Is it worth it?”

Tune in now and be reminded:

God sees your sacrifice.
He restores what was lost.
And the story isn’t over yet.

☕ Grab your coffee, get comfy, and let’s dig in.

XO, Christine Marie
