Missy Robertson Was ‘Honored’ To Take In A Baby In Need, Prays For Child’s New Family
By Movieguide® Contributor
Former DUCK DYNASTY star Missy Robertson celebrated the first birthday of the baby she and her husband Jase took into their home last year.
The couple and sent out a special prayer to the family he will go to next.
“We celebrated this little dude’s first birthday with all of his favorite peeps,” Robertson captioned a series of photos from the birthday party. “He hugged and slobbery-kissed everyone, laughed, applauded at himself, ate cake and made his happiness known to all! What a sweet boy, and what a year it has been!”
She went on to say that she and Jase were “humbled” by the family and friends who have joined them in this journey.
“We then turned our attention to the next family on this path,” Robertson shared. “We gathered around them, laid hands on them and prayed over them as they now take on this responsibility. Our elders anointed them with blessings, and there were many tears. Good tears! We are honored to have played a role in this baby’s life and are even more honored to play the new role of LouLou and J-Rock as his journey moves forward. He is so loved!”
Robertson finished her post with Psalm 65:11 — “You crown the year with Your goodness, and Your paths drip with abundance.”
Movieguide® previously reported on the Robertson’s decision to take in the baby:
Missy Robertson recently shared details about the newborn baby she and her husband, Jase, took into their care after his mother could no longer look after him.
The Robertsons met the woman through one of their ministries but had not talked to her in years.
“It was a shock,” Missy said. “We weren’t expecting it. We are not signed up to be foster parents or anything like that.”
She continued: “I said, ‘I have to think about this and pray about this. I may not be the right person to do this. I don’t want to take him home to a chaotic home, pawning him off to people all the time when he needs to be secure and loved and loved on. There were so many important factors to consider.”
It was a big decision, but some words from Jase made the correct choice obvious.
“He said two things: ‘One, she chose life. She had not always done that in the past,” Missy explained. “‘Two, she came back to the people who showed her Jesus.’”
The couple opened their home and hearts to the baby, but the arrangement isn’t permanent. The newborn’s mother hopes to one day take care of him again.
“He’s not adoptable right now; he’s not available,” she shared. “We’re waiting to see about her situation … it’s not just cut and dry. … It’s challenging and enlightening, but we’re just hoping that we can be there to support the mother right now.”
Although the situation is still up in the air, Missy says she and Jase are open to whatever God has planned for their family.
“His timing is perfect. Jase and I are open to whatever the Lord has for us and whatever He’s preparing us for in advance,” Missy said. “Whatever that is, is up to the Lord, and we just try to be available.”
