Bryan and Erica Y.

Hello everyone! We are the Yosten family (minus our oldest, Pierson) and we are beginning our journey with international adoption! Our journey really began in January 2023 when I read a book about a pastor who went on a missions trip to the Himalayas. Hearing the stories of children and knowing that many female children, for one reason or another, end up being trafficked. And so we knew we wanted to adopt a female child from an Asian country. Since I had taught English to children from China, Hong Kong, and Taiwan, these locations were particularly dear to my heart. After researching the programs for these countries we decided on Taiwan. In August 2023, we received an email from our adoption agency of a case with two sisters! Our initial plan was to fund the adoption process on our own, however the adoption agency notified us that if the sisters aren’t adopted soon they could potentially be separated and likely never see each other again. Wen-Xin and You-Xin have quickly stolen our hearts and we are on the road to bringing them home. With that comes not only the need of finances for international adoption, but for the additional fees associated with bringing both girls. Our wish is for them to stay together! So our request is simple. Pray for God to provide through our journey and ask if God is prompting you to support however large or small financially.
