Tara Roof was recovering from a hysterectomy and living paycheck to paycheck when she was invited on a mission trip to China. She learned how many children with special needs filled the orphanages—she was heartbroken and drawn to go.

Tara was told she would offer her professional services as a Speech Pathologist to the children. While Tara never rendered these services, God planted a seed that would change her and her family's lives forever.

When Tara returned to America from China she prayed and asked God what He wanted from her. God answered clearly that He wanted Tara and her husband to adopt a ten-year-old boy with Down Syndrome who was affectionately named, “The Mayor.”

While Tara describes herself as someone who is Type A and likes to be in control, God has transformed her heart and helped her loosen her grip. This has enabled Tara to love more fully than she ever could have imagined.

Blessed is She Who Believes with Elizabeth Santorum Marcolini

When Elizabeth and her husband Matt were asked by Sister Mary of the Sisters of Life to pray for a woman who was pregnant, they had no idea they were keeping their future daughter in prayer.

Elizabeth later learned Sister Mary had also given their daughter’s birthmother a copy of the book that Elizabeth had written with her parents, "Bella's Gift: How One Little Girl Transformed Our Family and Inspired a Nation."

Elizabeth speaks of God's "trail of divine breadcrumbs" that led Matt and her to adopt Zelie. This miracle has been greater than their own best laid plans.

Elizabeth encourages listeners to believe and be "good clay," as God is the Divine Potter.
