10 Things We’ve Learned Through 3 Infant Adoptions“We love talking about adoption!” Tim shares on his website, InfantAdoptionGuide.com. “It’s been everything in our world for so many years, so it’s time we share our conversations right here on the show…So many folks have asked us how we adopted, what we did, how the process works and so on. We hope this episode will help you on your journey to adopt.”
In episode 62 of the Infant Adoption Podcast, Tim and Tisha share about their experiences after adopting three newborns over a 10 year period. “We prayed a lot. Our prayers became even more intense as we let go and let God decide how our miracle would happen. And then in His humorous way, it took nine months before we brought our first daughter home…
God knew what He was doing, even if we didn’t. We definitely learned the lesson that He’s in control and we’re not, and we’re so OK with that because we’re blessed; we’re a mom and a dad now to three special kids. Through our infant adoptions we’ve learned a lot. We’ve learned things we wish we would’ve known when we first started. It’s why we’re here today; to share these with you!” says Tim.
