Since she was a young girl, she knew she could not embrace motherhood. Although she had the strength to cope with the feelings with all this, it got worse when love entered. The man wanted to marry her, but knowing she couldn’t build a family with him left her heartbroken.
When love is real, there are no conditions. He loved her for her soul and who she was—it’s always God’s plan. Once their journey together began, the couple never looked at things that would hurt them. She was a pastor’s daughter, so the couple became youth pastors after marriage.
This means they were around so many children, especially teenagers, all day, whether about life, love, or stability. Their job was to provide guidance and support, as most children at such young ages went through traumas and needed to heal for a better future.
Although the couple was there with them two days every week, they knew more time was required with children, as they were just 24 and 26, so a thought crossed their mind. They could become foster parents!
Listening to taunts and harsh words from people around was a thing the couple was familiar with, as everyone, without knowing the situation, kept suggesting they had kids. After they announced that they would be adopting kids, it got worse.
However, the love the two had did not let the judgments cause harm, and they signed up for training and scheduled a vasectomy. In 9 months, they had the license and were prepared for a beautiful journey. Every night, they shed tears and prayed, hoping for the best to come their way.
In a few days, a case worker told the couple there was a 16-year-old who needed hope, and without hesitation, the couple agreed to bring the kids home.
A boy walked into their home in three hours with a fishing pole. Randall was shy and smiled when he met the couple. However, the couple did not know if a grown boy would want to live with them until one day, when he broke down in tears and expressed gratitude, telling how he had always wished to be treated like this, as he had never met his parents.
After this heartwarming statement, the couple took legal custody of Randall, and in two years, he was officially their son! He also expressed the wish to stay with his parents after turning 18. It was January 10, 2019, when Randall legally became a part of their family, and it felt like God had heard all their prayers and fulfilled the wish most beautifully.
Randall is in high school and chasing dreams that many kids dream of. Moreover, about the couple? They still foster and adopt kids and build a beautiful, harmonious family.
