Today, Carrie shares the journey that led them to their TWINS! Prior to working with us, Joe and Carrie had been in the adoption process for about 10 years on and off. Understandably, they were exhausted from the ups and downs of the process. Yes, they were weary, but they were not without hope. Joe and Carrie have a beautiful resilience about them that I know they attribute to the Holy Spirit. I was speaking with Carrie the other day on the phone, and she reminded me that one of the reasons she decided to reach out to CAC was because she came across a picture of my family, and she saw that we ..read more

It’s never lost on me that my job as an Adoption Consultant entails walking hand-in-hand with families pursuing adoption.

I understand what you are going through.” There is just something comforting about having an advocate on your side who understands the highs and lows, twists and turns, and uncertainties that accompany the adoption process. I’ll never forget my first c ..read more

Last night my son proposed a question during our bedtime prayers. "Mommy, why can't you grow a baby in your belly? I want to be a big brother." I reminded him about his twin sister, Ruby, who is one minute younger than him. "You are a big brother, buddy!" He didn't relent. "But I want to be a really big brother. You know what I mean." I did know. I knew exactly what he meant. He wanted more siblings. He continued, "Do you think if I pray really hard, God will put a baby in your belly?" My heart sank. I looked into his hopeful, faith-filled, "I-believe-my-God-can-do-anything," beautiful brown ..read more

We were placed on the adoption path in ..read more
