We are a Christian family living in
We have been dealing with fertility since 1997. It was only after 3 months of fertility treatment that we finally accepted that God had other plans. We were willing to wait for God to reveal His will and proceeded with our lives. One evening upon leaving choir practice at church I noticed a flyer asking for “host families” to keep Russian orphans for a month during the summer. We talked and prayed about it and felt like we should proceed. After being approved and attending orientation, we felt like we could not ask a child into our home and then send her back as if nothing happened. So we decided we would proceed with an adoption. Well, when we picked her up from the airport, we knew she was meant for our family. She looks just like part of our family, especially our daughter, Sydney. Everyone has told us they look like sisters!
While everyone knows an adoption is expensive. We believe nothing is beyond our Lord’s
ability. We know He is able to complete
His plan, the plan He put into our hearts.
The total for this adoption is around $30,000. We are at a point now that we need around
$21,000. We have received help from some
friends and family and we even had a successful bake sale at the local Christian
bookstore, Sign of the Fish, in
We are also in great need of prayer. We know our Lord is going to use His people! We are asking for some specific prayers, so please lift up our family to the Lord.
As mentioned above, we would welcome any and all financial gifts. If the Lord provides more than the amount needed we will return the money back to you.
We could also use your prayers. We are asking that you pray for the following:
The Lord’s Will to Be Done – Not Ours
For our future daughter, peace and
understanding in the adoption process
For our future daughter, for
salvation of the Lord to come to her at a time of understanding
For our current daughter, for
peace, patience and understanding in bringing a new child into our home
