In a post she shared on her Instagram page, Ibidunni talked about how God made her welcome the choice of adopting children. Ibidunni and her clergyman husband, Pastor Ituah Ighodalo, got married in February 2007 and are yet to birth kids.
Read what she wrote below.
“Part 1….. Dear God,
“Where do I start? You are such a loving and kind Father it’s incomparable. Your wisdom and might are unrivalled as is your knowledge. You know the end from the beginning and the beginning from the end because time truly exists in you.
“You knew me before you formed me and you knew my life’s journey and you prepared for me every step of the way…. My choice of a life partner though questioned by many was a divine masterpiece by you… You already saw the struggles and you knew the perfect fit for me… you knew who could handle the storms of life with me and you blessed me with a wonderful husband, friend and lover. Ever so supportive and loving. Supportive through almost a dozen episodes of IVF, never wavering, there for every test and doctors appointment. With all the societal pressures and shaming you held me and comforted me in my low times. Even when that did not work out you were already planning something mind-blowing. How else could I explain the burden you laid on my husband heart to establish an orphanage even before our marriage? This same orphanage gave me my beautiful daughter who again has your hand in her life. Born on the same day as myself and named by her dad after me (such prophecy) and brought to the orphanage. Even when I did not recognize your hand it was there till our eyes saw that which was always in front of us. Again ever supportive, my husband was in support of our choice to go in that direction.
“The way you piece our lives jigsaw puzzles astounds me continually papa. Out of the blue, a call comes to my phone and my darling aunt says I’ve seen your son. Come and pick him…. Not a clue to the process I started in faith and you made a way and Zenan became ours…. Even when I’m not thinking about myself you are thinking about me and putting my thoughts in the hearts of people. Seeing my son is a moment I would never forget. The bond was instant, and love was in full flow. How could I ever have orchestrated my life as perfectly as you have done? I’m so glad I have you, papa, because your ways are not my ways and your hand is evident in my life….
