Many define family as those with whom you are genetically related. We, however, define our family as one purposely knit together by love; not DNA. We are the Pancieras, Robert, Sarah & Noah and this is our story. Thank you for visiting our adoption profile. Years earlier, we travelled to different countries often working with orphans and disadvantaged children. These experiences shaped our desire to have children one day but God had different plans. Time went by and still no children so we drew back to past experiences which tugged at our hearts by volunteering at a local children&'s home. Our desire to bring a child into our family increased. In the summer of 2011, our beautiful son was placed in our arms forever. Our lives have never been the same. About a year ago, we felt that gentle tug at our hearts to adopt another child. Not only did we have a great experience with Noah but we would love for him to have a sibling. Years ago, we learned that there are children in our own country who are considered "least adoptable". This had been and continues to be our hearts calling. Our prayer is to make this dream a reality. We completed our home study but have a long road ahead. The obstacle before us is financial as adoptions are very costly and is our biggest barrier to bringing a child home. We humbly ask you to consider partnering with us in making our dream a reality. Thank you in advance for walking alongside us in this journey either by spreading the word, through prayer or participating financially. Having the privilege of being entrusted with a child is a gift and one which we have never nor will ever take lightly!
