“Family isn’t always blood. It’s the people in your life who want you in theirs.” — Maya Angelou

Hi friends,

We’re Jon and Christina, and for the past 19 years, we’ve been building a home centered on faith, love, and hospitality. Our life is full in the best ways—with four amazing kids: Lydia (15), who has a compassionate and hospitable heart with a deep love for truth; Lenora (8), thoughtful, tender, and creative; Liam (6), our little defender and protector—curious and loving; and Lyle (6 months), our newest addition—peaceful, resilient, and deeply loved.

Adoption has always been part of our story. We’ve completed three adoptions, and each one has shaped our family in beautiful and lasting ways. We believe deeply that every child deserves a family—a place where they are known, safe, and loved.

Lyle’s story is both hard and hopeful.

He was born on September 20, 2025, at 34 weeks and experienced oxygen deprivation at birth, which caused a brain injury and ongoing medical needs. Early in his life, he went through a failed adoption placement when his level of care needs couldn’t be fully met. He spent time in the NICU after birth and most recently a month in the PICU.

But today—he is doing so much better.

Lyle is now in our home, surrounded by love, stability, and consistent care. He receives therapies and medical support, and he is fed through a G-tube as he continues to grow stronger. He is held often, prayed over daily, and fully embraced as part of our family. We are already seeing him thrive in ways that give us so much hope.

Our family life is simple and full—shared meals around the table, music playing while the kids dance in the kitchen, and everyday moments that build belonging. This is the life we are so grateful to offer Lyle.

We are currently in the process of finalizing his adoption.

The total cost of Lyle’s adoption is approximately $25,000. We have already contributed $11,000 through savings and fundraising, and we are working to raise the remaining $14,000.

If you feel led to support us, your contribution will go directly toward: finalizing Lyle’s adoption; his ongoing medical care and therapies; and supporting the unique needs that come with his journey

More than anything, your support allows us to redirect our resources toward Lyle’s medical care, therapies, and the ongoing support he needs to grow and thrive.

We are so grateful for every prayer, every share, and every gift—big or small. Thank you for being part of Lyle’s story.

With gratitude, Jon & Christina
