Adopting Hope

Sara Jones: God’s Plans for Your Children May Surprise You

One family’s unexpected journey from international adoption to caring for a child with special needs.

On this week’s episode of adopting hope, Sara Jones joins Sasha and Joyce to talk about international adoption and waiting on the Lord. Sara and her husband, Don, have four children—two adopted from Ethiopia, and two biological surprises. Sara shares about international adoption and caring for her youngest daughter with special needs.

“The Lord has been good to me,” Sara says. “He has been faithful. He has supplied all that we’ve needed and helped every step of the way. So I can trust him with the future.”

Listen as Sara testifies to God’s grace during seasons of infertility, adoption, and caring for a medically fragile child.
