Ep. 87 - Author Missy Maxwell-Worton Describes Her Heart-Pounding Adoption Experience

When speaker and coach Missy Maxwell-Worton received an email from a neighbor asking for someone to host a child, she quickly replied. Missy soon realized that this was not a request to house a kid for a couple of weeks, but it was an opportunity to adopt a child from overseas - forever. After praying with her husband Mark and asking her two biological children their thoughts, the Worton family set on a journey to adopt their son and daughter from Ethiopia. Their dangerous journey involved exposing a nation-wide adoption scandal, fears of being thrown in prison due to false accusations, and fighting to rescue their daughter through Hurricane Sandy. Her book Don’t Mess With This Mama: Risking It All to Rescue Our Daughter will have you on the edge of your seat and possibly even adopting a child.
