From Empty to Adopted with Paralympic Swimmer Jessica Long
Update: 2021-07-26
Description
Jessica Long was adopted from Russia after her young mother couldn't handle the medical needs of her fibular hemimelia. This sent Jessica into a long journey of understanding her identity and God's plan for her life. And then she found swimming. As her success grew, her identity began to be based on her ability to perform in the pool. At the age of 15, just five years after she started swimming, she won her first of many Paralympic gold medals. This began her journey of sponsors, success, and fame. But none of that filled her the way that she hoped, she continued to feel empty. Until the age of 21, where God finally got a hold of her heart, showed her what it truly meant to be adopted into His family, and the peace and safety she can find there.
