We have BIG news!
We are adopting again from China. We have a son that is waiting for us to bring him HOME!
We weren't exactly planning on adopting again, but the Lord has plans for our family that are greater than we could ever imagine. And when I saw our sweet boys face on the waiting child list-I could not forget those eyes. Every day I thought about him, could see those eyes, and started praying about him. He waited for months and months, and I was surprised nobody had moved forward to bring him home. I finally strummed up enough nerve to request to review his file. Our son (to which we still need to come up with a name) has a medical condition that is lifelong. While this is very scary to many families, I thought this is something we as a family could certainly handle. As a matter of fact we want to handle it! - we can give him the medical care that his body needs and the love of a family he deserves. As weeks continued to pass, we researched his condition, spoke with specialists, and all the while asking God that if he was in fact our son to "open the necessary doors" to allow us to adopt him. And if this was NOT the plan for our family, to "close those doors." Almost five months from when I first saw his face, his file was transferred to our agency for us to move forward and adopt him as our son!
As part of our adoption process, we have started a crowdfunding campaign. It may surprise you to hear that adoption related costs can easily total up to $35,000 and more. This is why we have set a goal of $35,000 to help ease the financial burden that often overwhelms adoptive parents.
We hope that by inviting you into this process, you will see yourself as part of the community that we hope to build around our child as we work towards bringing him home so he can get the medical care that he needs, and the love of a family to call his own. So please join us on this journey of love. You will undoubtedly be blessed if you do so, and you will also be a part of making a difference in this child's LIFE.
