Exciting News….
Faithful Adoption Consultants is thrilled to announce that we are adding a consultant! We have been praying about hiring a second consultant for quite sometime, but until now, we haven’t felt like the timing was right. God’s timing is always perfect, and we believe He has brought us the perfect person for our team.
We have found just the person and family to bring to FAC!
A little about this precious family, and Jessica’s desire to work with adoptive families…
Shawn and Jessica were married in 1998. They always had a desire to adopt, and after having three biological children, Winston, Elaina, and Marshall, they decided the time was right. When they started researching, Shawn and Jessica felt very overwhelmed and misled, until God guided them to Faithful Adoption Consultants. Through talking with Courtney, Jessica became educated on adoption and became aware of the need for families to adopt minority children. In March 2011, they adopted Emmaline.
It is through this experience that Jessica’s passion for adoption evolved. Adopting a child was not enough to satisfy her devotion towards adoption. Instead, her commitment matured. Jessica desires to use her adoption experience to walk beside others through their emotional journey, bring awareness to the need for minority adoptions, and be a light for Christ as she guides families through the process.
We are thrilled to have Jessica join our team, and we know that our clients will all love her as much as we do.
I am so happy for Shawn & Jessica. Watching her pursue the adoption & having her share her heart about it was a real blessing in my life. She is so passionate about this and so willing to help others on their journey.
FAC will be blessed! Emmaline is such a joy! Love love love this precious little one!
Jessica’s grandfather was adopted at the age of 18 months old from an orphanage in Tennessee. His mother gave him up as she could not afford to raise another child. Who would have known that this would be the spark that started Jessica’s desire to help other children.
Jessica herself came from a family of 5 siblings and her parents both came from large families, who are all Christians. So let the fun begin with her large family.
As her mom, I can proudly say that everyone of Jessica and Shawn’s siblings have professed that they have accepted Jesus as their Savior.
There is a song that was written that uses the words, “You’re the only Jesus some may ever see.” I can only imagine how many children will be in heaven someday though adoption of earthly families who are of the Christian faith. After all, Christ adopted us.
