The Plans I Have For You: A Mother's Answered Prayer

Teen mom, Cindy never thought she would see her baby boy again after holding him for the first four days of his life. She prayed a special prayer over him and placed him for adoption in hopes of giving him a good life. Upon meeting him after 50 years, the parallels of their life were astonishing. It was evident that God had been answering Cindy's prayer all along.

In 1887, The Salvation Army opened it's first "rescue home for women," primarily caring for young expectant mothers. Within seven years, 15 homes were operating across the United States. By the mid-1970s Booth Hospitals in the Western Territory had either closed or revamped their services to meet the needs of a new generation.

After the closing of the maternity homes and hospitals many "Booth babies" and birth mothers reached out for information looking to reunite with their birth family.

Tom was one of those "Booth babies." After a few years of searching, Tom was reunited with his birth-mom, Cindy, with the help of The Salvation Army's Booth Memorial records. Follow along their life journey and reunion in our latest release, "The Plans I Have for You: A Mother's Answered Prayer"
