The singer Gospel “Break Every Chain” and her husband Kenneth Leonard recently introduced fans to their son, Asher Amaris Leonard, in an interview with PEOPLE warehouse. During their conversation, she opened a couple of journey on which she and Kenneth had a child, which was not the easiest. After years of trying and using in vitro fertilization, the couple welcomed their wonderful child through adoption.

“After all the disappointment and we tried many times and we were disappointed, but you must have something internal [sic] Saying: I believe that it was for me for me, “she told the magazine.” So I have Asher now and only a story, as we got it, it is beyond what we could imagine or expect. He is more than what we could pray for. We are very excited that we are observing him every day. Sometimes we look at him and say: “Is this true?”

Asher is eight months old. The couple’s adoption agency reportedly adapted them to their mother, who was a month after delivery. They were capable of take Asher home shortly after his birth, and so they call them “beautiful” adoption. This made an enormous difference after years of scuffling with infertility.

“We tried to find out what ways would make it work and all the time, all these ways did not work for us. And our faith was tested,” said Kenneth for People. “One of the things I am very happy about is that at the end of this process our hearts were still open to God, as he did. It really strengthened our faith. Looking back, God really kept his promise.”

“If you want a child and fight, adoption was beautiful for us,” says Tasha. “It is literally as if Asher is our blood.”

Although she shook her faith, while Tasha was waiting for the opportunity to have her first child, Grammy’s winner says that her faith was ultimately strengthened. She hopes that individuals might be encouraged by the experience of her family.

“If you have faith for something, if you believe in something, never give up,” he says. “I know that even in the last two or three years it was difficult to walk in faith, because so many people have passed so much. But we want our story to show that even in the last two years God is still working on the promises he gave us.”

Asher is the first child of a pair. Kenneth has three other children from a previous marriage. Tasha and Kenneth have been married since 2017.
