When Derek and Sommer decided to adopt a child through foster care, they knew the road would be marked with scars. Their adoption agency provided extensive guidance for parenting through traumatic childhood memories and attachment disorders. Even so, nothing could have prepared them for the news that their daughter’s troubled journey had ended abruptly at 18 years of age. In this episode, host Stacey Gaona Hyatt and guest Sommer Cunningham explore the implications of trusting God through the darkest valleys, even when he doesn’t provide the answers we seek.
