Our journey began 14 years ago while planting a church in Ghana, West Africa. We were surrounded by orphans and we knew one day we would adopt. Our hearts were forever touched by the faces we saw, the children we were able to love for 3 months. Over the years, we have talked about adoption and after 4 biological children, we knew it was time to bring home a precious child that God would direct us to. We brought home Abby from China in 2012. We knew we wanted to adopt a second child from China and fell in love with a photo of Jonathan. Both Jonathan and Abby are special needs children from China. We love children, and Jonathan will be our second adoption and our 6th child. We are excited to bring him home and give him the love of a family he deserves. Every orphan deserves a loving family and we are blessed to call him our son. We will raise Jonathan to know the love of God and family. Even though we are financially able to care for Jonathan, adoption costs are daunting. Your donations are tax deductible. Please join us in bringing Jonathan home. Thank you for your sacrifice! God sets the lonely in families…Psalm 68:6 Love, The Battelsteins
