How Failed Adoption Plans Became Faith Builders on the Path to Their Son (Part 2)

Описание: Jennifer and Alexander faced infertility with less than 5% chance of IVF success. After difficult experiences with foster care where they felt judged for their religious beliefs, they found Heart to Heart Adoptions. In this episode of Eternal Family Adoptions, host Donna Pope sits down with Jennifer and Alexander to explore how two devastating failed matches prepared them for the adoption that was always meant to be.
The Ohio Heartbreak
Months later, a birth mother in Ohio selected them for her baby girl. Jennifer was traveling when the mother went into early labor. They rerouted flights and drove to Dayton together. The social worker immediately told them the mother had changed her mind. Alexander felt prompted to leave their family book anyway. Thirty minutes later, she changed her mind again and wanted to place. Then changed it once more. They left devastated and drove to the Carmel temple, where they felt peace despite the pain.
The Call From the Temple
Driving back, they received a call about Irene, the first birth mother from months earlier. She was ready to place her baby. This time, the team flew to New Orleans first to sign paperwork. Jennifer and Alexander spent the day walking where Irene lived on the streets, understanding the sacrifice she was making. Today, they post weekly updates on Hearts Connect, keeping their word even without responses.
