Episode Synopsis

In this Found in Focus devotional, we reflect on the beautiful truth of Ephesians 1:5 — that God “decided in advance to adopt us into his own family… and it gave him great pleasure.” Melinda Estabrooks shares her powerful story of adoption, reminding us that her journey mirrors the greater story God is writing for each of us. We are not spiritual orphans — we are chosen, wanted, and deeply loved. Adoption is God’s idea, and it brings Him joy to welcome us home.👉 Watch the full interview with Melinda Estabrooks and 🎧 listen on Spotify:https://youtu.be/bfKfVKY-70k⁠https://open.spotify.com/show/2lx04CnAIIPHJuDEJc7lw7⁠🔗 Connect with Lorie Hartshorn:⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://loriehartshorn.com/⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://www.instagram.com/loriehartshorn/⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://www.facebook.com/lorieshart⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://www.youtube.com/@loriehartshorn⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠LoriesHart Production Team:Video/Audio/Editing - Cameron Lin⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://www.cameronl.in/⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Design - Katrina Robert⁠⁠https://www.katrinarobert.com/⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Social Media - Zi + Liling Wong
