What about the Adoption?
WHAT ABOUT ADOPTION? We are now 4 months pregnant with twins. In this time, many have asked, “What about the adoption?” Allow me to catch you up on the Rosty family saga: In the summer of 2013, we sensed God’s leading to start a family. In obedience, we pursued both pregnancy and adoption at the…
