Proverbs 3:5-6 Trust the lord with all your heart and lean not on your own understanding; in all your ways submit to him, and he will make your paths straight. We didn&’t know three kids, let alone adopting, was part of God&’s plan for us. Since returning from our first trip to Haiti in May of 2012, God has orchestrated some crazy events, put amazing people in our path, and consistently tugged at our hearts. We live a fast paced life, but know without a shadow of a doubt that above all the busyness, our job is to love. Love God and love each other. We feel blessed to have a home in a place full of opportunity and to live among family and friends full of so much love. So blessed, that we are compelled to share that love and opportunity with a kiddo that wouldn&’t otherwise have it. International adoption is expensive and although we&’ve been blessed with the means to pay for more than half of it, we are going to need help. It&’s not easy for us to ask for help, but our future child is worth way more than our pride! Thank you for taking part in this journey with us. We are forever grateful! Jeff, Shannon, Ryan, and Tyler
