{{#rendered}} {{/rendered}}"All orphans have heart-wrenching stories, but it felt like this specific baby was ours. I think that the Lord knew what he was doing when he did not let us get pregnant," Lauren told People in 2017 shortly after bringing Willa to their Nashville home.
"I don’t think anyone can fully prepare you for the journey of adopting someone, especially from a third-world country where there are so many different laws," Rhett told the magazine at the time. "Every day you wake up with a whole new set of challenges that you never even heard of."
