whose adoption journey began after experiencing three heartbreaking stillbirths, including their son

. Emily shares how God placed adoption on her heart long before their losses, leading them through international adoption attempts and eventually to domestic adoption with Heart to Heart Adoptions.


Divine Orchestration




When birth mother Chris struggled for eight months to decide whether to place her daughter Leilani, divine timing connected two families walking through grief and uncertainty. The Hamiltons reveal how their experience with pregnancy loss prepared them to meet Chris in her pain with understanding and compassion rather than frustration. Brett discusses the scripture "be still and know that I am God" and how the adoption process taught them to surrender control and trust God's perfect timing.




18-Hour Miracle




This emotional episode demonstrates how God works during waiting periods and weaves together separate stories of heartbreak into a beautiful tapestry of hope and healing. The family's rapid journey from phone call to meeting in New York shows how staying ready rather than getting ready enables families to respond when God opens doors unexpectedly. Their story proves that the deepest grief can become the foundation for the greatest joy when families trust divine orchestration over human understanding.




This is Part 1 of a two-part series with the Hamilton family. Visit eternalfamilyadoptions.org to discover how faith can guide your adoption journey.
