Our hearts break for orphans, & we have been called to adopt. We first felt the calling over ten years ago, but the timing was not right. In August 2012 God&'s words were so loud we could not ignore them. We began our home study to adopt a little girl who is deaf & by May we were on a plane headed to China to bring her home. Even before we were home our family felt a nudge to adopt an older boy from China. Special need boys in China are often overlooked & never find their forever families. This is especially sad because our oldest two children are boys. Elijah has been waiting a long time for family. He has watched all of his friends go home with their families & asks what is wrong with him. He has asked his caregiver, Will they come for me next time? That just broke our hearts. The cost for two adoptions in two years is great, but the cost for leaving orphans without a family is even greater. For I know the plans I have for you declares the Lord, plans to prosper you & not to harm you, plans to give you hope & a future. Jeremiah 29:11 Will you help us give hope to an orphan? Will you pray for our family throughout this journey?
