Episode 21 - Finding Gratitude in the Process of Adoption

A Cup of Gratitude

This week we talk with Jackie Wrede. You won’t want to miss this heartfelt and candid look at her family’s journey navigating adoption and the foster care system. There are unforeseen twists and turns and a system that sometimes fails to prepare one for reality. Jackie felt a strong calling to adopt children from a very young age, but she never could have imagined the journey God would take her on. Jackie shares that the spectrum of emotions and experiences on this ride have been wild and at times overwhelming for her, but through it all, God's peace that surpasses all understanding has been the constant! Her story will resonate in your heart as it is a story that we all go through one way or another, a story of learning to trust God when we don’t understand what’s happening around us!
