Powerful Adoption Story Shows God's Hand at Work

One man’s powerful adoption story shows God’s hand at work. The timing of these events and how everything had to align perfectly is no coincidence. Check out the short but powerful video to hear how God helped orchestrate one person’s adoption.

Children, every one of them, is a precious gift and blessing from the Lord above. As every parent knows and understands, Mom and Dad are, without a doubt, the most important title and position you will ever get. There is nothing quite like being a parent and watching your little one grow, learn and explore.

However, sadly, for whatever reason, some couples cannot have children of their own. But that doesn’t mean that parenthood is out of the realm of possibility for them. One of the many ways to become a parent involves adoption.

In a clip posted on YouTube, one man recalls the powerful sequence of events that led to him becoming adopted. His story shows how God was most certainly involved in saving his life and finding him a home.

“My mom was a 15-year-old girl who got pregnant, and she was on her way to an abortion clinic,” he said. “And on her way to that clinic, she popped into a church to talk to the pastor about some advice on the biggest decision she was going to make in her life up to that point.”

At some point during their interaction, the pastor, talking with the scared pregnant young woman, stepped away to make a phone call. He contacted a fellow pastor to ask how he should handle this situation and what advice he should give the young lady.

It turned out that the pastor who received the phone call was, at that very moment, counseling a couple who had struggled for a decade to have children. The couple were in the pastor’s office at the time of the phone call.

“So, I got adopted because of these two pastors that were friends,” he said.

Psalm 127:3 “See, children are a heritage of the Lord: and the fruit of the womb is his reward.”
