We are excited to announce that we are adopting!
For many years God has stirred our hearts toward adoption. He welcomed us into His family and adopted us as His own sons and daughters. This beautiful picture of God’s love toward us sparked conversations about adoption early on in our marriage. After learning that Kate has PCOS, a condition that causes complications for conceiving a child, we were further convinced that adoption is the path God has designed for our family to grow.
As we welcome our next child from Korea, would you consider being a part of our adoption process through our crowdfunding campaign? It may surprise you to hear that adoption from Korea can cost between $40-50,000. We know that we cannot carry this financial burden alone, so we ask you first and formost to partner with our family in prayer that God will provide for our needs and that He will be glorified through our journey, then partnering with us financially if you are able. We thank you from the bottom of our hearts for partnering with us in whatever way you can to bring our son or daughter home.

Hello Family and Friends,
After many months of waiting, we have finally met our son! We received 7 days' notice to book our flights, get our paperwork in order, and fly to South Korea. Earlier this month we arrived in South Korea, were quarantined for a week, and met our little boy. We played together and met his foster family (who are so loving and kind) and had the opportunity to see lots of sights in the city of Seoul. The court hearing went well and we will be returning in two weeks to bring him home! We plan to send a more detailed letter/email to all of our family and friends to share more details. Thank you for all of your prayers and encouragement through this long period of waiting. We are so grateful for all of you!
