Our Adoption Story: Journey to Josiah Delaware

[@ednanelson1897]

Blood doesn't always make a family, love does. Babies are so intuitive. He felt your love and craved more. It's like the Lord whispered in his spirit you were his parents. God bless you for your love and obedience.

[@cindylou4783]

Josiah chose you to be his parents. He’s absolutely adorable. I wouldn’t be able to resist those eyes either. May he bring your family joy forever 💕

[@beecos08]

I am not sure why this ended up in my feed unless its because faith is mentioned. HOWEVER, I was pulled to watch the video. I am so glad I did. This video just made me feel awesome and hopeful for the world we live in. This entire testimony is so uplifting. Thanks so much for sharing. This touched the depths of my heart. NEW SUBSCRIBER

What a beautiful story. Our Father Knows Best.

[@ceceliadavis1999]

None of know what tomorrow will bring but the prayers of your daughter was priceless, being obedient to the will of God is what we as christians should strive for. The world will try to tell you that you made a mistake and some would say how could you accept that child of another race and even give you ugly stares. The world is becoming so dark but when I saw your story I realized that there is still hope because of people like you and people like me that want to love people well, I loved that you said that. My prayers is that God will continue to give you strength and courage to do everything he has put in your path, your sister in Christ.💕

What a blessed little Boy.

[@whiteraven69]

Many toddlers in foster care develop anxiety and separation attachment disorders when they are moved to numerous homes. These are critical years for the development and foundation for feeling secure within ourselves and trusting of our caregivers. It is truly a Blessing the Creator placed Josiah at this young age with your family , and CPS supported the process. When I worked in Child Protective Services , it was always a joy when we found forever homes .

[@forevergrateful4614]

Thank you for the work you have done to love children, who by no fault of their own find themselves in need of a family! Our son's caseworker kept expresses the joy and peace she felt in Josiah becoming our son! God bless you!

[@patriciajacobs8993]

I commend both of you and I thank God that you are Christians. May you be eternally blessed.

[@coachlady6837]

Love shouldn’t be based on race or religion ! A connection and the fact of giving a child of any race a chance is a wonderful blessing ! You two seem like great parents ! Loving parents! With a good heart!♥️only if their were more parents out their like you two! A prime example🥰 GOD is love 💕

[@gaelcarlton9182]

They certainly do show their love for both the word of our Lord but for being used by him and answering his call, listening and obeying whether they were ready or not...and they were humbly ready ...Gee you think they might want to adopt Grandmothers too?

Thank you for sharing your journey. Thank you for your dedication, love, support, and faithfulness to Josiah. Our God up in heaven is smiling down on your family. His plans are definitely greater, bigger, and more miraculous, than we could ever imagine or fathom. Your story has Ephesians 3 written all over it! Especially Eph 3:20-21 "Now to him who is able to do immeasurable more than all we ask or imagine, according to his power that is at work within us, to him be glory in the Church and in Christ Jesus throughout all generations, forever and every! Amen."

I love you guys. The whole entire family. You guys are the epitome of God’s precious love to humanity. He absolutely heard your little girl prayer that was manifested in your son, Josiah. With all the evil in the world, God’s light shines bright on earth. Not only did he give you Josiah, he also kept his sisters in his life. He is in control. He does not see color or gender. He sees our hearts. He is a big God. Heaven is his throne and the earth is his footstool. I pray for a Christian producer to see your video and make your story a movie for the world to see. This story has encouraged my faith. Many continued blessings to your entire family. Give Josiah a hug for me.
