Missy and her husband are about to embark on a trip of a lifetime. Not just their lifetime but the lives of a brother and sister in a faraway place. I prayed for a sign. What I got was a hole in my heart, and I could not look the other way. Often times, simply taking the first step is the hardest. We all know what it feels like to be overwhelmed in some way, and the remedy can sometimes be as simple as this: Just do what is in front of you. So began my journey into adoption. Home is that wonderfully messy place that offers a reservoir of safety and assurance where love is fully given and fully accepted. Home is that haven where we are able to journey together through thick and thin as a family! The miracle of every adoption story is amazingly life-changing and unique, and I am truly honored that you decided to join me on a portion of ours. What Others are Saying About Trails for Ticos Admittedly, I haven't met an adoption story I don't love. But getting to watch Missy and Patrick's story unfold up close has been something I won't forget... Reading Missy's journaled words will let you travel along this exciting road with the Grants as they bring their family together across country lines. -Christa Wells, friend, adoptive mom, professional singer/songwriter Psalm 68:6 teaches that God passionately "sets the lonely in families."
