are adopting a child from India

After a year and a half of compiling paperwork, waiting on approvals, praying, and parenting our three crazy and energetic biological children, we’ve been matched with a one-year-old girl from southern India. We are beyond excited to meet her and bring her home!
Our little girl will be named Haddie - after Queen Esther’s Hebrew birth name, Hadassah. Hadassah was an orphan that God used to help save and preserve His people, so we believe this is a fitting namesake for our adopted child.
Haddie was less than 2 pounds when she was born and has a cleft lip and cleft palate. She is now just 12 pounds at 14 months old - small but mighty! Despite the fact that she has endured more hardship in one year than we have in our entire lives, she is smiling and full of spunk in the pictures and videos we have seen!
In addition to the significant costs associated with adopting a child, our doctors estimate Haddie will require between 5 and 15 surgeries throughout her childhood. We are fervently asking first and foremost for prayers of protection over Haddie while she is in India, that she would be able to grow to a healthier weight, that her caretakers would be given endurance, patience, and compassion, and that her current and future doctors would have wisdom and steady hands.
We praise God for the truth of Ephesians 1:5, that “He predestined us for adoption to himself as sons through Jesus Christ, according to the purpose of His will.”
We would be honored to have you come alongside us in this journey, and please don’t hesitate to reach out if you’d like to hear more about how the Lord led us to adoption!
