Matching & Miracles
Matching isn’t just about logistics—it’s about listening for the Spirit.
When a birth mother is ready to choose a family, it can feel like everything hinges on that moment.
Will she pick us?
Are we enough?
What if she changes her mind?
It’s easy to get caught in anxiety. But this process is sacred. It’s not a race. It’s not a sale.
It’s a miracle in motion—and miracles require surrender.
The Lord’s timing often looks different from ours.
- Sometimes matches happen quickly.
- Sometimes there are months of silence.
- Sometimes a match falls through and breaks your heart—and yet somehow brings you closer to the child meant to be yours.
Matching isn’t about being perfect. It’s about being present. Trusting that when it happens, it won’t just be your child you’re welcoming—it’ll be the birth mother’s trust, her grief, her hope, and her love, all placed in your hands.
Prepare your heart for that.
