Adoption Runs in the Family: Our Multi-Generational Story - with Erin Smalley
Episode description
In this deeply personal and heartfelt episode, I share a story that is very close to home—literally. You’ll hear powerful insights about how both my sister, Erin Smalley, and I were adopted, and how those early beginnings shaped our lives in meaningful ways. But that’s only the beginning.
We also dive into the extraordinary journey of my niece’s adoption from China; a beautiful, faith-filled story of love, waiting, and God's perfect timing. It’s a reminder that adoption doesn’t just change one life, it ripples through generations, creating a legacy of belonging, redemption, and hope.
Whether you’re personally connected to adoption or simply love hearing stories of God’s providence, this episode will move your heart and open your eyes to the beauty and complexity of family, identity, and grace.
God decided in advance to adopt us into his own family by bringing us to himself through Jesus Christ. This is what he wanted to do, and it gave him great pleasure.
–Ephesians 1:5
