Cass & Alex Waddell

are adopting a child from Hong Kong

We are embarking on a new adventure! God has laid it upon our hearts to serve a child by way of adopting them into our family. We are thrilled and honored to be growing our family through international adoption!

We humbly ask for prayer during this time as we seek to be receptive to God’s call. Adoption is a huge emotional, psychological, physical, and financial investment for our family. So, in addition to your prayers, we are asking for financial assistance for this process. Your help will allow us to take care of the paperwork, agency fees, legal proceedings, travel, immigration, and other various costs required to bring our child home. We trust that the Lord will provide all we need, and are excited to see how He uses this community to help us bring our child home!

Thank you for taking the time to follow along with our journey. We are so grateful to each of you!

    We’re officially in the home study phase!

    November 13, 2022

    After months of waiting we were finally able to complete our orientation interview last week, officially marking the beginning of the home study! We are now in the education phase, where we will be completing trainings, reading books, and overall acquiring knowledge to help prepare us for bringing a child into our family with a background of trauma, insecure attachment, and a high level of need. We are asking for prayers for motivation and endurance as we are trying to complete the education piece by the end of the year!

    Additionally, about a month ago we were able to submit our first two payments totaling to $4062.50 fully funded by the generosity of family and friends on this platform! Thank you for supporting this calling the Lord has laid on our hearts - we are so grateful 🤍

    In Christ, Cass + Alex

    T-shirt fundraiser

    August 23, 2022

    Hello family and friends!!

    We are so thankful for your continued support of us as we walk through this adoption journey. We have been BLOWN AWAY by your generosity, and are truly so grateful to each of you.

    We have been working with Fund the Nations to design a t-shirt to help with our fundraising efforts, and are really happy with the shirt we are sharing! We chose the word "chosen" from James 1:27 which says,

    "Pure and undefiled religion before God the Father is this: to look after orphans and widows in their distress and to keep oneself unstained from the world."

    We feel honored and humbled to be a part of this calling, and are so thankful to have been chosen for adoption ourselves as children of God! Please join us in praying for God's glory to be proclaimed throughout this process, and that our child would feel His loving presence as they wait to join their forever family.
