Pregnant After Surrendering Control

God has been moving in mighty ways in our journey. We experienced unexplained infertility for over four years. The wait was long, hard, and heartbreaking. After four failed IUIs, God called us to become foster parents. We welcomed a four-day-old baby boy in January 2024 and officially adopted him this August.

Fast forward to the Moms in the Making conference in October 2025—this is where the Lord set me free from all the control I had tried to hold over my fertility journey. I fully surrendered everything to God and truly felt free from the baggage I had been carrying.

A few weeks later, I felt the Lord prompt me to take a pregnancy test. Truthfully, I didn’t want to; I was afraid of seeing yet another negative result. But He kept nudging me. To my complete shock and surprise, I saw two lines for the first time ever. Looking back, I was actually pregnant at the conference and had no idea!

We are now in our second trimester with our miracle baby, one we faithfully prayed for, and God answered in His perfect timing. We are overjoyed that our sweet boy gets to be a big brother. God is so good, and we boldly say: DO IT AGAIN, LORD!
