Continuing from Part 1 of the Cole family's adoption journey.
In this episode of Eternal Family Adoptions, hosts Donna Pope and Nathan Gwilliam conclude the Cole family's adoption story as they face 14 more rejections before experiencing a miraculous turnaround. Picking up from Part 1's heartbreaks, Brandon and Bethany share how they endured months of waiting with Heart to Heart Adoptions, getting their hopes up every two weeks only to hear another family was chosen instead. Just when they thought their journey might never end, a phone call changed everything in a matter of days. Within 48 hours, they went from disappointment in Arkansas to meeting their son's birth mother in Utah and bringing home baby Ezekiel. The family discusses their ongoing relationship with his birth mother, the financial provision that covered their fees to the dollar, and how their children's faith grew stronger through adversity. Brandon and Bethany offer encouragement for families in the waiting phase, emphasizing that God's timing proved perfect despite years of uncertainty. Their story demonstrates how perseverance through multiple rejections can lead to the exact child meant for your family.
