✨ Big News: A Beautiful Journey Begins ✨
I have some incredibly special news to share—something that has completely changed my life in the most unexpected and beautiful way.
Back in November, I welcomed a new student into my classroom. From the moment I heard their name and their story, I knew—I loved them. They are creative, joyful, energetic, and resilient—everything I love so much about them. And as I got to know my kiddo, it became so clear that God had placed them in my life for a reason. I couldn’t imagine my life without them.
After months of prayer, seeking wise counsel, and going through training and home study, I am now officially licensed and will be welcoming them into my home this week as I begin the journey of fostering to adopt.
This journey has tested me, refined me, and deepened my faith in ways I never expected—but through every high and low, God has been so, so faithful.
The Lord has done a miracle in both of our lives, building a village that loves us and writing a story far greater than anything I could have imagined. This has been the hardest, most beautiful process, and I know the road ahead won’t always be easy, but it’s a reflection of the gospel—of how the Lord adopts us into His family, bringing redemption to every story. I feel so honored to give this sweet kiddo the love, home, and stability they deserve.
As I step into this new season, I would love your support:
Prayers – For this transition, for wisdom, and for my sweet kiddo as they adjust.
GoFundMe – If you feel led to support financially. Donations will go towards clothes, books, toys, extracurricular activities, and new experiences.
I’m so grateful for the love and encouragement from my family, friends, and community. Thank you for being a part of this journey with me. Your prayers and support mean the world as we step into this next chapter together.
