Rachel also opens up about adopting through foster care, navigating reunification, and how her work as a social worker shaped her understanding of family, identity, and sacrifice. The conversation culminates in a long-awaited reunion with the son she placed for adoption—an encounter marked by grace, healing, and God’s perfect timing.
This episode offers an honest, hope-filled look at adoption from every angle and reminds us that love never disappears. It grows, waits, and finds its way home.
