Title: When You Want to do Big Things for God and the Unexpected Happens — An Interview with Miranda Bailey
Summary: Today, we hear from Miranda Bailey, a mother of four whose plans for their family didn’t turn out the way she expected when the country closed to adopting the girl they wanted to bring home, and then their fourth son was born with Holoprosencephaly. Listen as she shares her story of navigating grief, expectations, how jealousy leads to isolation, surrender, and finding purpose when caregiving feels never-ending. Connect with Miranda, as she’s vulnerable and honest about gaining perspective and how to hold on to hope when the unexpected happens.
