A good father changes lives just by showing up.

Present. Steady. Caring. He leads, protects, and provides—reflecting the love God has for each of us. ❤️

Take Chris. You’ll find him teaching his oldest to drive, spinning the little ones in the office chair (again), and delighting in his youngest— a son. To his kids, he’s the hero who walks through the door. They can’t get to him fast enough!

His story holds both grief and joy. After losing his first wife to cancer, Chris walked the tender road of single fatherhood. Years later, after marrying Sarah, his family grew through adoption. Now Rachel, Sophie, and Trey, each carry their own unique story, and Chris’s name.

🎉 We recently celebrated the finalization of Trey’s adoption, which comes with all the rights, belonging, and full embrace of sonship. When we consider the fullness of this precious role, we’re simply amazed.

Through fathers like Chris, we catch a clearer glimpse of God’s love. The kind that gives. The kind that stays. The kind that echoes for generations.

Happy Father’s Day to every dad showing up with love.

You are not alone. 🩷

Five birth moms. Five stories. One message: you are worthy, you are loved, and you don’t have to figure this out by yourself.

🤰 If you’re facing an unexpected pregnancy, their advice is real and judgment-free: talk to an advocate, get informed about your options, and trust that you’re stronger than you know. It’s okay to be scared. It’s okay to feel lost. You still have so much value.

Whatever you choose, support is here.

Save this and send it to someone who needs to hear it today.

Please join us in welcoming Trevor Shettron to the DPA team! 🎉

As our new Director of Development and Marketing, Trevor brings a wealth of experience in marketing, relationship-building, and strategic communication. But his connection to Deaconess runs far deeper than his résumé.

Trevor and his wife, Courtney, adopted three precious boys through Deaconess. He knows firsthand the life-changing power of this mission. Now he's pouring that same heart into expanding awareness, strengthening community partnerships, and sharing the stories of hope that make our work so meaningful.

We can't wait to see all that's ahead. If you area long time supporter or would like to get involved in our mission of serving women, children, and families, Trevor would be delighted to set up a phone call or coffee to connect. 📱☕ Whether through advocacy, prayer, or partnership, we'd love for you to be part of this mission alongside us. Call the office at 405-949-4200 to schedule something today.

🎉 What a joy to celebrate another family grown through the gift of adoption! Their story is a beautiful reminder that the Lord cares about every single detail of our lives.

Through their journey, this family witnessed God doing the things only He can do. They saw His handiwork in each season. His peace in the waiting, His joy in the placement, and His sovereignty and provision when their adoption finalized.

Their encouragement to anyone considering adoption, or walking through a season they didn’t expect, is simple and powerful: put your “Yes” on God’s table. Trust that He can handle your doubts and fears. We all have things in our lives we can point to and say, 👉 “this is because of God.” Remind yourself of those moments often and stand on the truth that He won’t stop being faithful now.

Today, we celebrate this precious family and the faithful God who has written their story.

Last week, our team shared what it looks like for an expectant mom to choose a family.

This week? You’re hearing it straight from someone who lived it. 🩷

Marilyn walked through the adoption process and shares about what choosing a family looked like for her.

A question frequently asked by hopeful families: “How do we make our profile stand out?”

The honest answer: it’s different for every mom. There’s no perfect formula.

Listen to Marilyn share the little things that made her decide, this is the family.

Real stories. Real choices. No script.

Meet Jarrod and Hannah—a couple whose love for each other and their son shines through in everything they do. 💚

Hannah is the best mommy. She's selfless, loving, and nurturing, and Jarrod can't wait to watch her embrace those same qualities with another child. Jarrod is a wonderful, dedicated father who's always helping their son grow and learn, while making time to play and simply enjoy life together. 👨‍👩‍👦

One of their favorite traditions? Traveling! Each year they take a special trip around their son's birthday, and they're so excited to share new adventures with another little one someday. ✈️

Jarrod and Hannah felt led to adoption through prayer and their faith, and they're waiting with open, hopeful hearts.
