Thank you for taking the time to read this. It’s been a long and broken road, but I am thrilled to say I am adopting a child from Colombia!

My dossier was approved 4/7/2025, as as of June 2026 I have an accepted referral for the amazing little boy who will be my son. He will be 5 this summer, and has Poland syndrome, so when I am able to bring him home there will be additional care (mental/emotional/physical) required here in the States.

Why Colombia? Well, first, hablo español! That will help as my son will be learning English once I get him back to the States. Second, I have always had a love for South America - their history, culture, and the people’s tenacity thru the ages. Third, I’ve been privileged to sponsor two girls in Colombia through Compassion International for over a decade, and have gotten to see the country through their eyes. I can’t wait to bring my little one here and give all the love and opportunities that are possible.

Why Adopt Together? This adoption will cost me close to $50k by the time my son is home. That’s a lot of money! But beyond that, this gives you the opportunity to live out James 1:27 along with me - “Religion that God our Father accepts as pure and faultless is this: to look after orphans and widows in their distress”. And you can do it while getting a tax deduction for your gift!

Even if you can’t give financially, I covet your prayers in this journey. Thanks for reading along this far, and for considering a gift on my son’s behalf.
