121: From Orphan to Overcomer: Lilia Klaczynski's Faith-Filled Journey | Part 2

In this special two-part conversation, I sit down with Lilia Klaczynski, whose story carries us from the silence of a Soviet orphanage to the freedom she found in Christ. Born premature and abandoned in Moldova, she spent her first 15 years in an institution with no family, no faith, and no knowledge of God. Adoption into the United States opened a new chapter—one filled with both challenges and blessings. Through it all, Lilia’s journey reveals the miracle of survival, the reality of pain, and the beauty of redemption. Today, she is a wife, mother, and speaker whose testimony shines with resilience and hope.

In Part 2, Lilia opens up about the years after adoption—years that were not free from hardship. She shares the difficult realities she faced in her new home, how those experiences shaped her identity, and the breaking point that ultimately led her to Christ at age 21. Her story comes full circle when she later returns to Moldova, this time with the strength to bring encouragement to children who were living the life she once knew.

Today, Lilia shares her testimony on diverse platforms, adapting her message for both faith-based and secular audiences while holding fast to her foundation in Christ. Her journey reminds us that healing often unfolds in layers, redemption can rise out of the hard.
