In this episode of Dream Small, Jason and Whitney welcome their first non-family guest, Michelle, to share her powerful story of fostering and adoption.
Michelle and her husband fostered for 13 years, ultimately adopting five children. Her foster journey began with a surprise call late one night about twins—and what followed was a whirlwind of faith, heartbreak, disruption, and God’s provision.
Michelle opens up about:
• How infertility led them to private adoption and then foster care
• The unexpected late-night phone call that launched their fostering journey
• The challenges and heartache of disruption—and how God used it for a greater plan
• The importance of community and church support when saying “yes” to kids in need
• How God shifted their hearts from “growing a family” to “serving children and families”
Her story is a reminder that the path of fostering isn’t easy—but God is faithful, even in the hardest yes.
