In a world filled with countless challenges and uncertainties, stories of unwavering faith, love, and compassion shine as beacons of hope. Today, we’re thrilled to share the heartwarming journey of Cameron and Haley Montgomery, a remarkable couple from our church, Fellowship of the Parks.
Cameron and Haley’s journey began when they were deeply moved by some of the adoption videos our church’s team produced for Orphan Sunday. These videos spoke to their hearts and ignited a desire to make a lasting impact on the lives of children in need. Newly married and eager to embrace their faith and newfound love, the Montgomerys embarked on a journey they could never have fully prepared for.
Their story is a testament to their unwavering commitment to God’s will and their dedication to living out their faith. Just a month after tying the knot, they took the courageous step into the world of foster-to-adoption. It wasn’t an easy path, with three failed placements that tugged at their hearts and tested their resolve. However, they remained steadfast in their mission to provide love and support to a child in need.
Then came the day that would change their lives forever. The Montgomerys received a call that would introduce them to their son, Carter. Two weeks after welcoming Carter into their home, they received another unexpected blessing—Haley became pregnant with their biological child, Banx. The couple’s initial plans may have been diverted, but they embraced this new chapter with open hearts and open arms.
Their journey culminated in a beautiful and touching moment that took place this past Friday—the formal adoption of Carter. This was not just the legal binding of a family, but the realization of a dream they had nurtured since that initial Orphan Sunday video.
Their story is a powerful reminder that life often unfolds in ways we could never anticipate. It teaches us the importance of embracing God’s plan even when it deviates from our own. The Montgomerys have shown us that love has no boundaries, and family is not solely defined by blood but by the bonds of love, compassion, and faith.
At Fellowship of the Parks, we are proud to be part of a church community that actively seeks to “defend those in need (orphans).” There are countless ways to be a part of this mission, from fostering and adoption to respite care, financial support, building beds, and so much more. Cameron and Haley’s story serves as an inspiring example of what’s possible when we come together as a community to make a difference. James 1:27 | Religion that God our Father accepts as pure and faultless is this: to look after orphans and widows in their distress and to keep oneself from being polluted by the world.

The Montgomerys are living proof that by following God’s calling and remaining faithful to His plan, we can create beautiful, unexpected, and life-changing miracles.
