In this conversation with the lovely Kim Patton, we speak about her journey through infertility and trusting God to guide her towards adoption. Adoption after infertility isn’t talked about as much as it should be — and that’s why I think this is an important conversation. While many turn to IVF, adoption after infertility is a beautiful option as well and I wish more people would consider it.
Now mom to Eden, Kim and her husband are expecting a second baby they will be adopting from Edens birth mom. We talk about the incredible love Kim has found for Edens birth mom and how it’s showed her how much God loves us.
We also talk about her experience leaving a church and a denomination after a lifetime…her family’s path toward *very* small church in the living room of friends and how COVID gave them the chance to re-evaluate what they wanted and needed in their church life.
Kim was so sweet and I really enjoyed talking with her about two things I am passionate about: adoption and the Church.
