I met Mike Morrell during a trip to Atlanta in 99′ or 2000 while visiting an intentional community church he participated in. Since then Mike married his high school sweetheart, Jasmin, had a beautiful daughter, and made the decision to follow his passion. He has been instrumental in furthering the discussion of what it means to be Christian, with an emphasis on love and equality for all.

When it came time to choose Penelope’s godparents, we immediately agreed on Mike and Jasmin. That’s why you’ll frequently see him referred to as “The Godfather” in my posts

The Morrell’s stay busy, completing degrees, writing, editing, traveling, and raising their daughter, Jubilee.

During Mike’s recent visit to Atlanta we sat down to discuss adoption, connecting with his birth parents, blended families, and fatherhood.

Here is part one of our conversation.
