Adoption stories are a very powerful way for us to learn from others. We can get inspired, find hope and connection for our own adoption adventure. Every adoption is a bit different and so there are thousands of unique adoption stories. This one is extraordinary and unforgettable.
April and Noah Fallon were on the same page about adoption from the beginning. Noah had siblings that were adopted. April lived in Uganda, Africa for 3 years. They knew they were going to build their family through adoption.
Now, they’ve adopted 4 times after going through the process 7 times. They’ve seen so many ups and downs on their journey, it makes my head spin.
It really is incredible to hear the number of unbelievable and even scary things they had to witness and deal with during their process of adopting their kids. There were medical miracles, crooked attorneys, birthmom drug use and yet they see God’s hand bringing out the good through all of it.
“One of our kids’ birthmoms said to me, ‘April, don’t hate me – I hate me enough.’ I changed in that moment. It was at that point I knew birthmothers need love.”
—April Fallon
