Maria Sebralla, adoptive mother of six, shares about staying encouraged despite the unknowns that may come with special needs adoption.

I knew I had met “The One” for me when my boyfriend said, “Children…Yes! I would love a dozen!” As a young married couple, we planned for many children. After years of marriage and no children, we realized God had another plan for us. Adoption! We found Holt and started our adoption journeys. Our first was a referral of a baby girl. Our second through the fifth were all waiting children — each child having a different challenge or the possibility of one. Our sixth child, however, had significant special needs.
