"Our faith and that strength [is not] in ourselves, but in God and in knowing His power and knowing that He lives in us, so that whenever our kids do hit those rocky roads—they hit those tough times—they won't break. They know that God is with them and He's there." -Korie Robertson

"I think sometimes we lose that confidence and the Bible tells us to not lose our confidence, because our confidence is in Him," Korie said during a recent interview with "Focus on the Family" host Jim Daly. "He has given you those children. He has given you the tools and the things that you need to help them."

She continued, "And you know, whenever you point them to Him, continually pointing them to Him, He loves them even more than you do. So, I think that we can take heart in that whatever mistakes we've made or whatever things that we've done that haven't been the best for our children, our God loves them even more than we do and He is for them and He is with them and He is in them."

Korie and her husband, Willie, have been married for 25 years and have three biological children—John Luke, Sadie, and Bella—and three adopted children, Rebecca, Will, and Rowdy.

Over 11 seasons, "Duck Dynasty" allowed the Robertson family to showcase their love for adoption and foster-parenting: "[Adoption] has become more and more a passion of our heart," Korie shared. "We feel like if we have this opportunity, God has given us this opportunity to speak and to talk and then let's use it to do some good in the world."
