Our story is a simple one. Our family went to Kaliningrad, Russia on a mission trip to minister to orphans in the region. We fell in love with a 15 year old boy and his 18 year old sister. God has placed an overwhelming desire in our hearts to make them a part of our family! Now we are on a fast-paced journey to adopt the 15 year old boy before his 16th birthday in July. When he turns 16 he will no longer be considered adoptable. We are raising funds as quickly as we can to bring our son home! We are also praying that we will be able to bring our new daughter here on a student visa one day soon! Family and friends, we need your help! We cannot do this without your enouragement and support! We know God has called us to this journey. Please pray about how you can be a part making our family complete! "For I know the plans I have for you, " declares the Lord. "They are plans for good and not for disaster, to give you a future and hope." Jeremiah 29:11 Great love to you all, Tim, Lauren, Gracie and Claire
