At one point, they were telling us we would have to wait…Keep Reading

God slowly revealed His plan for us and has led us to…Keep Reading
“Often we get asked “how did you know that you were supposed to adopt?” or “why did you feel you should adopt?” We always answer “because God told us to.” We all have a t-shirt that we love to wear for many reasons: it’s yellow, it always draws peoples attention and it sparks many conversations. The front says “Why Adopt?” And under that it says: “For the Bible tells me…Keep Reading

“We have been matched up with a little girl! We accepted the referral of a 2.5 year old little girl! She lives in the Mumbai area. We think she was born with some form of spina bifida. We are waiting on some more information, such as an updated medical file, recent photographs, and a video. Her file has not been updated in two years, so we aren’t really sure what…Keep Reading
“Before we were married, we discussed the possibility of adoption and knew that this would be one of the avenues God would use to grow our family. Adoption is a calling that we both feel like the Lord has placed on our lives.

We didn’t know what this would look like for our family or when it may happen, but we were eager to pursue it when the Lord made the time clear. Within the first couple years of our marriage God placed a hand-full of relationships with single moms, who found themselves in crisis pregnancy, in our lives. We…Keep Reading
