Welcome family and friends! Thank you for joining us in this incredible journey. If you know us at all, you know that we are one big crazy family, joined by the goodness of God. Andy and I have always known that we wanted a big family but honestly didn't know exactly how that would play out. God has blessed us with 6 children and now has opened our hearts to adoption once again. This time from the beautiful East African country of Burundi.
God has given us a deep love for East Africa through friendships, missions, and business partners. Now we feel that God has led us to Burundi to complete our family. We began the process on June 1. We had an idea of how we thought this may go but God had other plans. When we began the process we envisioned one child joining our family. However, our agency has a waiting child list and and when we inquired, we discovered that there are siblings, a brother and sister, who have been waiting for a family for a very long time. We asked for more information and have since fallen in love with these children. We are now considered a "soft" match for the children. Once our paperwork is in Burundi, we can be officially matched. We are so excited and anxious about adding to our family. We feel that God led us to A & P and they are already blessing our lives, even though we haven't met. There are still many hurdles to jump over in order to bring them home but we have faith that God will continue to lead us down the right path.
We have been sacrificing financially, saving, adding additional jobs, and fundraising in order to pay for the fees and travel to adopt 2 children. While we had hoped to be able to pay for everything on our own, we realized that do need some help. It is very humbling for us to ask for you to join us in this journey. We would be forever grateful for you to join us in prayer and if you feel led, financially. We are so excited to have A & P join our big, crazy family. We would love for you to be a part of bringing them home.
We hope that by inviting you into this process, you will see yourself as part of the community we hope to build around our children as they grows up. Thank you! We love you all!
The Rose Family
