People Say Our Adopted Daughter Is Lucky—But They Couldn’t Be More Wrong

Nearly one year ago, my husband and I jumped into the world of fostering unexpectedly. We met a young girl (age 9 at the time) at church who was in an emergency foster care placement. She was in need of parents to adopt her. This had been placed on our hearts. So, with our hearts on our sleeves and a lot of fear/faith, we opened our home to her.

This little girl, like so many kids in foster care, had been through hell and back. She’d been in care for 4 years at that point. We were placement 16. So many people had given up on her. She carried a lot of baggage and quite the record when she entered into our home.
