How can both sides support women?

June 25, 2022 bethanygwb

I’m always uncertain when it comes to speaking out about current events, but as I gaze into the face of my sweet newborn daughter, it’s unfathomable to me that if she had been born in many other states, she might not be a part of our family. This post is my humble attempt to honor… Continue reading How can both sides support women?

April 2022 Adoption Update

April 20, 2022April 27, 2022 bethanygwb

Seven months have passed since our last adoption update, and we have seen eighteen info summaries and shown our profile nine times. While those may seem like just numbers, each represents another time God has answered our longing for another child with “not yet.” We ask that you continue to pray for us, specifically, that… Continue reading April 2022 Adoption Update

Approved and Waiting

September 25, 2021 bethanygwb

On New Year’s Eve 2019, we had begun preparing our adoption profile book after a long six-month home study process for domestic adoption. I wasn’t feeling well and wanted to blame it on the rich holiday food, but on a hunch, I took a pregnancy test. 2020 began with a big surprise, we were pregnant… Continue reading Approved and Waiting

Dipping our Toes in the Jordan

July 10, 2019July 2, 2019 bethanygwb

We were so excited to finally announce last week that we are adopting! But as we begin this journey, we want to be honest about the hard part—the fear of the unknowns. How long will we have to wait? What will our relationship with the birth mother be like? Will we have a failed match?… Continue reading Dipping our Toes in the Jordan

We’re Adopting!

July 3, 2019July 3, 2019 bethanygwb

Even as I type this post, I am completely humbled and amazed at the working of God to bring… Continue reading We’re Adopting!

☘️Christ with me…as I awake to children up before the sunrise I sat in the waiting room of the urgent care, holding a crimson wad of tissues to my 5-year-old daughter’s chin. By some miracle, this was the first time in 5 years of parenting that we rushed to the urgent care in need of stitches (though thankfully it just had to be glued). I gently turn the knob to close the nursery door, holding my breath and waiting for my daughter to cry out again. These are the days…
