While in Vietnam, Brown had seen orphans sleeping on the street on pieces of cardboard. His heart had gone out to them. Later, when he and Peggy decided they were ready for another child, they began the adoption process—the interviews, the home study, the paper work. They initially thought God would lead them to a child from Southeast Asia. But God had other plans for them and gave them a baby girl from Colorado.
The adoption process never troubled the Browns. They knew they were not at the mercy of a social worker or government agency. They were confident that God would give them the child He wanted for them. They saw how God orchestrated every amazing detail, and, through their move to the Air Force Academy in Colorado, He put their family together.
