Adoption has always been a deep desire of our hearts, and we’ve been waiting for God to show us the exact time to move forward in His beautiful story of creating our family. The Lord has blessed us with overflowing love, and we cannot wait to pour His love into the life of another child. God has given us (abundant) life and adopted us into His family through His Son, Jesus Christ, and we believe adopting children is a beautiful display of the Gospel lived out here on earth that points us to our Heavenly Father.
Adoption can cost up to and over $30,000.00, so we have made a fundraising profile for those family and friends who feel called to help support this dream to bring our baby home without such overwhelming financial burdens. There’s something really special about being a part of helping families form together.
We praise God for your prayers, giving, and support throughout this process.

“….a desire fulfilled is a tree of life.” Proverbs 13:12b
As we celebrate “love” this month of February, we want to thank YOU for the love, prayers, and support that you have given us in this journey. It has essentially just begun, and we wouldn’t want to travel this road without YOU as you partner with us and join in this calling.
It’s been said that “it takes a village to raise a child”, and we praise God for the village (near and far) who loves our family and is praying for the precious soul who was/will be created by God, rooted in our family tree, and grown in love.
Our T-shirts have traveled the world
(well, Disney World and in the countries of Epcot :-).

Not all family trees grow the same.
Adoption.
Created by God. Rooted in family. Grown in love.
Family & Friends,
God has very clearly ordered our steps and is making the way for this adoption process. We literally scheduled ALL 3 home visits back to back in the same week!!!! We finished them today. This is pretty miraculous and according to our caseworker, very rare. It’s can take several months to complete all three visits for families due to the caseworker and family’s schedule and availability.
We are zipping through paperwork and hope to have the whole complete home study done in the next two months which includes CPS checks for two states, finger print checks, wellness checks for all four of us to be cleared as medically healthy, recommendation letters, home study trainings, and a few other forms documented needed information and child preferences. We are watching in faith and joy to see the Lord part the waters and make the way for us to walk through this calling.
