Mark & Jennifer Mozley Family
Soon to be adopted: Ruthi.
Home Church: Atlanta International Church, Atlanta, GA (currently serving in Asia)
My wife and I have never had children on our own, although there was no medical reason why we couldn’t. We considered adoption early on in our marriage but after much prayer, decided that the timing was just not right.

Last weekend my husband and I chaperoned a group of junior high/middle school youth to an annual conference called Winter Blast. Two of our own kids were planning to attend so we thought chaperoning would be fine.

“Mommy who is your birth mom is?” That was the question my sweet 4 year old daughter asked tonight for the first time.

As adoptive parents to 2 of our 3 children, we believe that by bring up the conversation of adoption this allows us to frame it in positively. So, most nights...

Jon & Christella Hudson Children: Grace 10; Samantha 9; Lily 9; Myley 6; Oliver 5; Freddy 4; Kalli 3 Church: Macedonia Baptist Church, Owensboro, KY Adoption was a concept first introduced in my life when I lost my father at 17. Shortly before his unexpected death, I met my (future) wife and her parents. They welcomed me into their home, helped me through college and the beginning of my Marine Corps career. I saw them living out the love of Christ for someone...
