<p>What happens when a mother refuses to accept the world’s definition of worth? In this powerful episode, Laura Belk shares what it means to go against cultural norms, medical advice, and societal expectations in the name of love, truth, and advocacy. As a mother of nine—four with special needs—Laura opens up about the heartbreak and hope of raising children who the world often devalues. She takes us behind the scenes of Nurturing Nations, the nonprofit working to dismantle dangerous beliefs in Ghana, where children with disabilities are sometimes seen as curses rather than blessings.</p><p>Laura’s story is not just about adoption or disability—it’s about the radical act of believing every life is valuable, even when systems, traditions, and even doctors say otherwise. From adopting the first child with Down syndrome out of Ghana, to confronting the medical community’s bias against children with chromosomal differences, Laura invites us to see disability not as a deficit, but as a divine difference.</p><p>This conversation will challenge you to rethink what it means to be “normal,” to question the narratives we’re handed, and to discover the unexpected beauty that exists when we dare to embrace every kind of diversity.</p>

<p>Brace yourself for a raw and unapologetic conversation that challenges the way we think about adoption, faith, and family. In this episode of the See the Miracle podcast, host Brady Murray sits down with Tanna Roush—a mother of nine, including six adopted children—to discuss the radical, transformative power of love and commitment. Tanna doesn’t sugarcoat the reality: adoption is messy, heartbreaking, and not for the faint of heart. But for those brave enough to step up, the rewards are profound.</p><p>Tanna’s story is one of faith put to the test—a journey that began with a simple, gut-wrenching prayer for God to break her heart for what breaks His. From the orphanages of China to the bustling streets of Bulgaria, Tanna and her husband found themselves called to rescue children that the world too often overlooks—children with special needs, abandoned and forgotten. She doesn’t hold back about the brutal truths of neglect in orphanages or the physical and emotional scars that her children carried home with them.</p><p>But Tanna’s message is clear: just because it’s hard doesn’t mean it’s not worth it. And maybe—just maybe—more families should be stepping up, even when it feels uncomfortable or inconvenient. Love doesn’t come with guarantees, and neither does adoption. But Tanna’s conviction is unwavering: every child deserves a family willing to fight for them. Whether you’re considering adoption, feeling called to advocate, or just curious about what real commitment looks like, this episode will challenge your assumptions and dare you to reconsider your capacity to love.</p>

<p><strong>Rewriting the Narrative on Adoption and Down Syndrome</strong></p><p>In this thought-provoking episode of the See the Miracle podcast, host Brady Murray sits down with Whittney Moody, a fearless advocate for individuals with Down syndrome and adoption. Whittney shares how she and her husband Michael always dreamed of adopting—but it wasn’t until the birth of their son, Jude, who has Down syndrome, that they truly understood the deeper meaning of acceptance and belonging. Their journey led them to adopt Max, another child with special needs, creating an unbreakable bond between their sons and reshaping the lives of everyone in their family.</p><p>But here’s the controversial truth: society often views children with disabilities as burdens rather than gifts. Whitney challenges this mindset, proving that love, resilience, and a strong community can turn what many see as limitations into extraordinary opportunities. From an affirming hospital experience after Jude’s birth to the powerful impact of her uncle with Down syndrome, Whittney’s perspective is one that more people need to hear—whether they’re ready for it or not.</p><p>Through performances at UGA Miracle and daily acts of service, Max and Jude are not just living with their diagnoses—they are rewriting the narrative. This episode will make you question outdated beliefs about disability, family, and the true meaning of inclusion. Are you willing to see the miracle?</p>
