What
an amazing and blessed journey this has been for us as a couple over these past
five years! Words cannot describe the awesome joy and privilege that it is to
encourage and walk alongside so many families in their adoption journey. We get
to wake up each morning in the knowledge that we will see God’s hand at work in
bringing children into their forever family.
“Adoption is
something I often dreamed about but never thought it would happen. Using
CAC made the process a lot less overwhelming and scary. Dawn & Jason
"held" our hands the whole time. They were great and extremely
patient. Not a day goes by that I don't thank God for them and our son's
birth mother. With their help, my husband and I found what we were missing,
and our family is now complete.”
- Mike & Crystal, Georgia
It
all began for us with a failed international adoption. We had already fostered
and adopted six children and brought home our son through international
adoption from Ethiopia. When the failed adoption happened, we were so very sad
and didn’t know where to turn. After praying and seeking what else the Lord may
have for us we found a blog about another large family who adopted their 10th
child through domestic infant adoption!
When we read they had used Christian Adoption Consultants we instantly
called and spoke to our consultant.
She
talked to us all about the process and how Christian Adoption Consultants
works. We were excited, and within a few days we signed on with CAC. Within a
week we had flown to Pennsylvania and our daughter was in our arms and legally
ours! Such a miraculous blessing to us.
Within
a couple of years when Christian Adoption Consultants opened a brand-new
program for Special Needs Children we called our consultant again and said yes
to another child. Within a few months our youngest son came home. Experiencing
first-hand God orchestrating our son joining our family was truly amazing.
During
the process of our two domestic adoptions we shared about CAC with literally
hundreds of people, which led to dozens of clients signing on with Christian
Adoption Consultants. Those families knew that we’d had an excellent experience
with CAC, and we wanted everyone to know who they were and what they could do
to help families adopt. Finally, less than a year after bringing our youngest
son home we started working for Christian Adoption Consultants as a husband and
wife team. We were so excited that we were able to fulfill a passion of
adoption in our job that we both share. Every time we have a new family sign on
with us we get butterflies as we dream with them about God’s plan for their
family. We pray with and for them and watch as God unfolds their story.
It
is a privilege for us to be able to serve our families together and we couldn’t
ask for a better job! Thank you so much
Malcolm & Amy Young, CAC’s founders and directors, for allowing us to
follow God’s calling on our lives.
Stay
tuned for our follow up post: “120 Children Home: Celebrating 5 years as
adoption consultants - Part 2 and Part 3, where we will share our Top 10 joys of working
as adoption consultants, as well as some cool facts and stats about our work
and our amazing families!
“This
wonderful couple helped direct us to the babies God knew needed us as much as
we needed them! There is so much loss on all sides in adoption, but God can
redeem it! Dawn and Jason prayed with us, longed with us, and reminded us God
had already written our story. All we had to do was wait on His timing! If you
have questions about whether adoption is right for your family call them! They
can pray with you over the phone and wait with you until you know!”
