Chelsea’s Bio:

Chelsea and her husband Jeff, live in sunny Florida with their two sweet sons, who joined their family through the gift of open adoption – both with the help of CAC! Chelsea holds a bachelor’s degree in Elementary Education from The University of Arizona. She is passionate about helping and serving families grow through adoption. Chelsea is so honored to assist Jonnilyn and her families as they walk through their adoption journeys.?

Chelsea’s Story:

Shortly after Jeff and I were married, we had hopes and dreams of growing our family. After two years of walking through infertility and treatments, we felt a clear message from God calling us to close that chapter and open our hearts to adoption.

We began our adoption process in November 2017 and began working with Jonnilyn. She was such a blessing to us as she held our hands and prayed for us, each step of the way. On June 5th, 2018, our son was placed in our arms by his loving birth mom and we became a family of three.

In June 2019, we decided to start the process again to grow our family once more. Again, we turned to Jonnilyn for her help, guidance, and support as we began the process. We went into our second adoption, again putting our trust in God’s timing wholeheartedly, but truly didn’t think we would be adding another child to our family in the near future. The Lord had bigger plans than we realized when our second son was born on July 25th, 2019. We quickly became a family of four with two sweet boys only 13.5 months apart – what beautiful blessings they are to us! We are so thankful and honored to be their parents.

CAC had played such an important role in helping us grow our family. We are so thankful for Jonnilyn, who offered so much hope, love and support as we waited to become parents. I am so excited and honored to get to play a small role in helping Jonnilyn and her families on their adoption journey!

Funny how long they live⁣
Sending branches upward in heaves⁣
Reminding us of how we ought to be⁣
Relying on strength and agility⁣
In storms that swirl and pound and break⁣
Outward limbs, sometimes shake⁣
Seasons show upon their face⁣
Animals take rest in the shade⁣
Breath we take, exhaled for granted ⁣
Fruit they give freely, always enchanted ⁣
Though they watch and keep an eye⁣
On our life, just standing by⁣
Supplies provided, home to dwell⁣
Glory scattered in fall’s carnival⁣
Outlast, but never giving in⁣
Carrying us to the grave again⁣
⁣

This afternoon we have another adoption story over This afternoon we have another adoption story over on our blog. We pray it will be an encouragement to you wherever you are in your journey! "Did we hear God wrong? It's easy to second guess your adoption plans when you're in the middle of the process; in the trenches of the wait. Sometimes even easy to second guess your faith and your ability to clearly hear God's call. But I've learned that God is always at work, even when we can't see it. Chris and Jen had these questions and decided to give up their plans for growing their family through adoption. And that's exactly the time they received a call about their son. Today Jen shares the questions, and the answers, that led them to their family of two growing to three." - CAC Adoption Consultants Susan @svansyckle ⁣

"Expectations. They can kind of make us or break u "Expectations. They can kind of make us or break us, can’t they? As I’ve walked with many people through their adoption journeys, I’ve seen families crushed by unrealistic expectations and I’ve seen families beautifully hope in God as they’ve surrendered their expectations to Him. So what does it look like to have reasonable expectations during your adoption and specifically as you work with an adoption consultant at Christian Adoption Consultants? What does it look like for adoption expectations to 'make you' rather than 'break you?'" -CAC Adoption Consultant Katie F. @katiefenska ⁣

We have another adoption story on the blog this ev We have another adoption story on the blog this evening! "It was an honor to walk with Jamey and Sydnee through their adoption journey. When we first connected I remember Sydnee opening up about their long journey through infertility and loss. She shared her heart and about the journey that led them to this specific place and time. She also shared some of their fears with me about the adoption process, one of them being too old' to be desirable to an expectant mother. As she was talking I remember thinking to myself, 'I'm so glad that God connected my path to these amazing people and I can't wait to see what the Lord has in store for them.' Their journey through the adoption process wasn't easy, but that same journey, the one with ups and downs, the one with disappointment, the one with waiting, led them to their daughter and I know they wouldn't change a thing about it. Jamey and Sydnee, thank you for allowing me to walk with you through the adoption process. I am beyond amazed at the story God wrote for your family! Today Sydnee shares that story..." -CAC Adoption Consultant Kelly @kellybethtodd⁣

"Sometimes when God asks for your 'yes,' he only gives you the very next step. For Seth and Brittany, they took the next right step the entire time, even when they didn’t know exactly where they were headed. Home study, done. Find Christian Adoption Consultants, done. Begin seeing situations…present to expectant families…raise finances for the next phase…⁣
⁣
Every step a new challenge. And every step a new space to trust God with their future and their family. Today I’m so thankful for Brittany who shares the details of their story in such a way to encourage other families who might feel hesitant taking the next step God is calling them to take." -CAC Adoption Consultant Susan⁣ @svansyckle
