On our first date 18 years ago, (yikes!), we discussed our dream of adopting. In the meantime, we helped raise our nephew from the time he was 11 years old, so we kind of did the teenage years first (yikes again!) And 4 years ago we were blessed with our son, Noah. We feel that God has placed this desire in our hearts for international adoption. Paul's Asian heritage has also created a tender spot for us for a child from Asia. We actually started this process in September 2016, and are now at a point where we are ready to ask you to join us in our journey, to become a part of the community that will welcome home and give this child the start that he or she deserves. Let us thank you for your time, your donations, and most importantly your prayers. In these ways, you are becoming an integral and lasting part of this child's story. We thank you and can't wait to share this amazing journey with you!
