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. The Bible speaks a lot about how we, as followers of Christ, are commanded to care for children, and we feel that adoption is one specific way…Keep Reading
Dear friends, We, the Burke family is excited to announce that it is our hope and prayer to add to our family through adoption.

“God placed the dream of adoption in our hearts before we even met. 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

We are the Carroll family (Jason, Julie, and William). This year we started on the journey of adoption. To say we are excited to add another to our family of 3 would be a huge understatement.

“It started to feel familiar…the wait. I was reminded of our infertility struggles each time we tried to add to our family. We have faced many obstacles and Jesus has been victorious every time. We have been blessed with four children despite hardship, and God’s unfailing love has been evident with each triumph. Our adoption journey began in 2012 and as time went on I know many wondered if it…Keep Reading
