In this powerful episode of Medical Moms Anonymous, I’m joined by my long-time friend, Sarah E. Frazer, as she shares the deeply personal journey of adopting her two youngest children from China. With a heart for the forgotten and a call to grow her family, Sarah never anticipated the medical complexities that came with the adoption.

In this conversation, we dive into the unexpected challenges of parenting children with special needs, and how Sarah learned to trust God through it all—especially when things didn’t go as planned.

Sarah’s story is filled with honesty and hope, as she opens up about the emotional, spiritual, and practical difficulties of raising children with severe medical needs. Through it all, she has found solace in God's sovereignty and goodness, even when faced with the unknown.
