Fred and Chris waited seven years for God to answer their prayer for children—and then He came through with abundance! This sister-brother duo were born just seven months apart. Here’s how Fred tells the story:
God has truly blessed and grown our family in remarkable ways. We always had the desire to have a child and adopt another one as well. After celebrating seven years of marriage, we began the process of obtaining our foster license through California Social Services. In the midst of this, we were overjoyed to discover that Chris was pregnant. Just two months later, we learned about a baby girl in need of a loving home through a friend. Opportunities to bring home an infant are incredibly rare so we felt immensely grateful. With the help of our social worker, we expedited our foster license and welcomed Morgan into our family. Seven months later, we were blessed with the birth of Fred the 5th, also known as Simon. After two long years, we were finally able to finalize Morgan’s adoption. As we recently celebrated our 10th wedding anniversary, we’ve reflected on how God’s orchestration of Morgan’s adoption beautifully mirrors the way He adopts us as His children (Ephesians 1:5) through faith in Jesus Christ. God’s mercy and grace continue to guide our hearts and minds as we train up our children in the way they should go (Proverbs 22:6).
