Drew and Barbie Etterle
are adopting 2 children from Philippines
Greetings, friends and family! Drew and I are elated to expand our family from three to five, and we are so grateful for your willingness to help us create a warm and loving home for all our children. Christian and Evans will soon be joining our family soon, and Jeremiah is excited to have not one but TWO brothers.
When we started this process 7 years ago, we did not know all that this adoption journey entailed. In 2019, we did surrender the timeline to the Lord. We make jokes that we did that before we knew 2020 would happen. In all seriousness though, God’s orchestration of all that has happened is awe-striking. We certainly didn’t know we’d be matched to TWO boys from the Philippines. Though it is double the amount of expected children and double the costs, the love is far more than doubled.
Thank you for your consideration of donating to the adoption fund. These funds will be used for us to travel to the Philippines to pick them up and bring them home as well as initial medical assessments and mental healthcare for the children.
