Parents Amy and Nathan Duncan from North Carolina, who always knew their adoption journey would be a little different, became adoptive parents to a premature baby boy with severe birth defects before he was even born. Doctors thought he wouldn’t survive, yet, after 104 days of fighting and fervent prayers, the baby headed home and is now “completely healthy.”

The Wilkesboro couple started dating when Amy was 16 and Nathan was 18. Their shared Christian faith was a “huge, huge driving factor in getting married,” said Amy. From having the chance to adopt a child with life-threatening birth defects and bringing him back home with no long-term ailments, the couple say it is all God’s glory.
