We adopted our beautiful daughter 34 years ago and now we live with her, her husband and our 3 wonderful grandchildren! Adoptions are miracles and God’s precious gift!
This is fantastic! My young Thai. wife and myself hope to also adopt in Thailand when we leave Calif. Hope we can talk in the future. God bless all of you!! Dr. Dave
So thrilled for you! What a blessed little boy Theo is to be raised by a Godly couple like you. Will be praying for the remainder of your adoption journey and hope everything continues to go smoothly!
Awe, sooo fabulous. Absolutely beautiful to see you so excited. I was adopted but my adopted parents were abusive. Stunning to see kids be placed with excited and loving parents. Happy for you. What a wonderful name!!!
So tickled for both of you! That is such a blessing! Courtney you are beaming. You are going to be a great Mommy and Michael a great Daddy. Will be praying for upcoming process. Praise the Lord!
I don’t know y’all at all but through the music ministry but for some reason tearing up for both of you. Quiet Michael doesn’t - probably can’t - stop grinning and is so expressive during this video. This is proof again that you never know what someone is going through even people who are singing and smiling and to us seem to not a problem in the world. Y’all are blessed and also this little boy, who doesn’t even know it yet❣️What a Godly living, Godly big loving family he will have. You’ve got some great role models in all those grandparents❣️
My baby boy is now 47. Due to multiple miscarriages, I was told I would never carry a baby....well I was pregnant when we adopted Steven.... 8 mo later I gave birth to His brother. You will or ARE going to be blessed beyond your imagination! So happy for you!
This makes me teary 😢 You guys are an inspiring christian couples! You guys will be mentioned in my prayers🙏🏼 Looking forward for updates as soon as you travel Thailand to meet Theo!!! Wohooo!
This brought tears to my eyes, tears of happiness! I am extremely happy for you, Courtney and Michael! You two will be such wonderful parents and I know you will raise your son in the admonition of the Lord! Can’t wait to meet him when the time is right! Praying for y’all to get your son as soon as possible! God bless you both and congratulations!♥️♥️
I love that you both have embraced the path GOD has defined for your lives. May HE richly bless your efforts to participate in HIS plan and touch this little baby’s life by bringing him into a family that will love him so much!!!
Wow...Didnt see this coming....I am sooo happy for your adoption ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤...God is amazing......cannot wait to "meet" your baby boy..Truly God's time is the perfect time...5 is the number of G-R-A-C-E...J-E-S-U-S....F-A-I-T-H.Congratulations Mom & dad👪
Congratulations you guys!!!! I'm so happy for you. I can only imagine how excited you must be. Our 2 "kids" are grown and have kids of their own. We have 4 bio grandsons, one bonus grandson and 2 bonus granddaughters. They range in age from 4 yrs -18 yrs. Time flies. Except of course when you're waiting for something precious. Who knows, maybe Theo will come home early and be here in time for Christmas. lol
You are so amazing. To adopt a baby from Thailand n excited about n see the love in your faces makes me so emotion to see young couple want to share their love with unwanted baby from Thailand is refecting of god's love. God bless you.
What a wondeful story. We are certainly happy for you.. We sure look forward to meeting your new little boy... We know the Lord is blessing you, and you will be wonderful parents...
Congratulations To You Both on Your Precious Little Gift From GOD... He's going to be so Spoiled By His Mommy and Daddy as well as The Rest of Your Family ♥🚼♥ We know that God is so, so Good!!! God Bless the 3 of You Always.......
I am.over the top excited for you guys!! You are going to LOVE being mommy and daddy!! I will keep you in prayer and God will open the borders just for you and little Theo!!
Yes! Nothing is too hard for God! I've been watching your videos recently and I get encouraged everytime to keep relying on God. This is an amazing testimony and God was really involved in everything, I'm so happy for you! By God's grace the borders will be open for you to meet your son and bring him home! Thank you for sharing your wonderful testimony! God bless you!
So happy for you. Adoption is so rewarding. I’m sorry that it took so long. It is actually much more difficult than conceiving and bearing because of all the uncertainties. As the saying goes: “Your child has grown in your heart and not under it”. May God continue to bless you in your journey. I have been praying that you would be able to have a child for many years. You will make Amazing Parents!!!!!
What a blessing!!!! Jeremiah 32:17.There is absolutely NOTHING too difficult that our God cannot do.Congratulations Courtney and Michael.Theo will certainly be raised in the LOVE LIGHT OF JESUS.👍🙏
Adoption is very dear to me - -I was adopted as an infant in 1944 (stating the year sounds better than my age!). I was raised in a CHRISTian home by loving parents. My son and daughter-in-law have adopted a son after being foster parents to him. Your story is so very touching as you've gone thru all the ins and outs and your faithfulness - God bless you as you become parents!
I was praying for you and came across this verse: “You will show me the path of life; In Your presence is fullness of joy; At Your right hand are pleasures forevermore.” Psalms 16:11 NKJV
CONGRATULATIONS! I am so happy and excited for you both! I pray you get your precious bundle soon. You will both make amazing parents to that very lucky little boy. Hugs, Pat K.
This is fabulous news. Our oldest grandson (28) and his precious Korean wife are missionaries in Northern Thailand. As a supervisor of global missionaries, I have traveled to Thailand several times over the past few years. We all love the Thai people and those gorgeous Thai children. There is a happiness and sweetness about them not found in many other cultures. We pray that your wait will be brief; your LONG travels will be comfortable and joyfilled; and, your first sightings, hugs and kisses with your son will be heavenly. Thank you for staying the course to save this life and to give him a prosperous hope and future. We look forward someday in the years to come to hear him singing on stage with your family.
I am so happy. For you two. This surely is a blessing miracle from God. He couldn’t have a better more loving family than you, and the extended Collingsworth “clan” of course. This is a blessing for you from your loving Father.
Aw congratulations!!! I watched this mesmerised!! Soo happy for you both 😁 you are lovely people, and Courtney I absolutely love your singing voice, so many great songs 👍 🎵 Gotta Get To Jesus among them. May God bless you in this next season, will def pray you can travel soon 👍🙏 thank you for the reminder that nothing is too difficult for God, i def need this as I try to navigate my life & need to step forward in faith. Lots of love all the way from N. Ireland, Leah xx
Congratulations! God bless you as you take on the task of being parents and raising a child not only for this life but also for the future life- eternity. #Prayer works 🙌
My inlaws famly also run an adoption agency. By the favor and grace of our Lord abandoned babies are given to loving christian famlies. Its such a joy to know that God takes care of every one of us.
Thanks for that verse in Jeremiah which I am claiming (since the last time I watched this, your video) every day to heal my wife's and my marriage. As I keep you guys in my prayers please keep us in your prayers - thanks.
We were sitting in Grandparent mode and an empty nest, and God said okay lets fill this nest back up so at 53 we adopted our third child from Ukraine, he is deaf and that in 2014 God put it on us to go back and get his two best friends. So we did. It was not easy financially BUT GOD blessed. Again. They are all deaf. Why deaf because that is the ministry Gods is leading us. My Dad’s youngest Brother was deaf and my mothers youngest sister is Deaf. There have been some challenges but God has always provided. One other thing we were not supposed to be able to adopt 3 unrelated children from the same orphanage but we did and the second adoption the Judge only required one hearing not two. There si much more to our adoption story. Praying for you both.
I am an adoptive mom. I can attest to the wait of adoption process! We waited 2 years to adopt our child from the foster care system. She was 14- almost 15- years old. Her adoption was finalized in April of 1993. She is now 44 years old. It was not always an easy road, but what parents and child does not have ups and downs. Add to that, my late husband was a pastor. It's hard enough to be a PK , and live in a fishbowl, but to be almost 15 years old and the entire town knows who you are, it was very tough for her. Moving as much as pastors do was also hard on her. She hates moving to this day. PRAYERS FOR YOU GUYS! Waiting to get him into your home will be very hard. Be gentle on yourselves on those hard days. I pray that your time and wait will be short! God bless you and keep you!
I started my adoption journey in 2006 and I finally saw my daughter's face for the first time in 2013. Over 7 years. But before we traveled... We, my sister and I, was diagnosed with cancer. So had to put it on hold. But faith kept me going and I knew that there was a little girl waiting for me...somewhere. Just not sure where. So many people figured we gave up. So what a surprise when we told people. So we proved them wrong. But on January 2, 2013 my agency called me around lunch time and I wasn't there. When I got back around 1:00 I got a email that said to call them asap. ( I figured my paperwork was approved). So I called and to my surprise 😱 I found out I have a baby girl 2 yrs old from the Guandong providence. We named her Lily Grace. Grace was by the grace of God she became my daughter. So we finally traveled in June to china 2013. Wow what a trip that was.❤️

As adoptive parents ourselves, there is no greater joy than holding that baby the first time! Congratulations...
This is fantastic! My young Thai. wife and myself hope to also adopt in Thailand when we leave Calif. Hope we can talk in the future. God bless all of you!! Dr. Dave
