Family and Friends. We are excited to share our adoption journey with you. As a family, we know that God has called us to adoption. Adoption is a beautiful reflection of the Father&'s heart and speaks volumes of our own spiritual adoption. We have launched this site as a platform to raise the funds needed to adopt. (Adoption is not cheap). We have saved a total of $14,000, and we are raising the additional $10,000 needed in order to place a baby in our home. Raising children takes a village, and we are thankful you are a part of our village. Our prayer is that God would be glorified through our story! We feel so honored to be used as his vessels of hope and love to a hurting world. On this site and at www.barrenmadebeautiful.blogspot.com , we will update frequently, and you will get to take a part and see what God is doing in our little family. Join us as we live out this adventure! With Love, The Deans p.s. Our dream is that we would be able to raise double the funds and help fund another family&'s adoption (the Nadalskys)! May God receive the Glory for what funds are raised!
