What if you can’t keep her; aren’t you worried


                                                 about having your heart broken?






                                   I thank God for every moment that I have with this beautiful girl                                It’s not always easy to trust that God has your

                                   because I have had so much joy since she has been in my life.                                    best interests in mind and to do what He asks
                                   But, if the tables do turn and the parents get her back, I will be                               willingly. Saying “YES” to God may include

                                   thankful that God changed their hearts and made them want to be                                  saying “NO” to what you want and often without

                                   parents. There are a lot of things to be thankful for either way.                                having all the answers.




                                                                                                                                    Michele has totally surrendered to God’s plan

                                                                                                                                    and God’s light is shining through her as she

                                                                                                                                    lives in His love and plans for her life. I’m
                                   What is it like to say “YES” to God?                                                             inspired by Michele’s courage to embrace her

                                                                                                                                    life and trust in God’s plan for her future. In

                                                                                                                                    saying “YES”, she has boldly declared “I’m all

                                   It just feels really, really good! I am completely at peace with my                              in!”

                                   being a parent again. There is no looking back and I am blessed to

                                   be a part of her life! One of the best parts about having this baby is                           So, what can bravery, faith, trust and obedience

                                   that I have a chance to use this opportunity to teach her about God,                             in the Lord get you?

                                   as well as witness to the biological family. I made a lot of mistakes

                                   raising my three kids, and I feel like God is giving me this chance to
                                   do things over, to do them better. Sometimes it can be difficult and

                                   I’m tired, but it's all pure joy!
