We are excited to begin another adoption journey! We are in the process of completing our paperwork to adopt a little girl from China. We feel that God has placed both orphan care and adoption on our hearts and has already brought two beautiful children into our family through the blessing of adoption. We are estimating our expenses to be somewhere between $30,000-$40,000 and are trusting that God will provide the necessary funds to cover our adoption related costs. The adoption tax credit and possibly a grant though General Mills will cover $13,000-$23,000, for which we are very grateful. Thank you for investing in our family both through your prayers and financial support. We are thankful for your love and support for our family.
James 1:27 Religion that God our Father accepts as pure and faultless is this: to look after orphans and widows in their distress and to keep oneself from being polluted by the world.
Isaiah 1:17 Learn to do good; seek justice, reprove the ruthless, defend the orphans , plead for the widow.
Proverbs 31:8 Speak up for those who cannot speak for themselves, for the rights of all who are destitute.
Matthew 25:40 The King will reply, "I tell you the truth, whatever you did for one of the least of these brothers or sisters of mine, you did for me."
Psalm 68:5-6a A father to the fatherless , a defender of widows, is God in his holy dwelling. God sets the lonely in families…
“Depend on it. God's work done in God's way will never lack God's supply. He is too wise a God to frustrate His purposes for lack of funds, and He can just as easily supply them ahead of time as afterwards, and He much prefers doing so.”
