Morgan and John Merkel

are adopting a child from United States of America

Thank you, thank you for your donations and prayers!! This means the world to our family.

We are John and Morgan Merkel! We have our sweet son Clarke, he is almost 3 and just such a joy!! We both felt the call to adopt before we got married but we have spent the last 2 years really praying over our decision and we are so excited to follow that call. Adoption is such a great picture of the Gospel and what God has done. We cannot wait to see the sweet baby God has in store for our family. Clarke is going to be the best big brother!!

Specific prayer requests at this time:

  • prayers for safety over the expectant mama that will chose us, and over her baby.. we feel strongly about praying over them before we even know their names!
  • prayers for wisdom and discernment throughout this process.
  • prayers for the financial aspect of this process and patience in the waiting!

    Hi everyone! We are asking for your prayers as we are reaching the one year mark of actively presenting to mamas very soon. Our family has presented to 26 mamas and had one failed self match this year, so it’s been a very long year. We know God is still faithful throughout all of this. We know that God can do abundantly more than we ever could imagine. In the same way, we are both also feeling the weight of the past year. Please join us in praying for endurance, peace and strength to continue doing what we know God has called us to do.
