As we wait to see what God has in store for growing our family, we are asking for financial assistance. Adoption is usually a very expensive process but God has already provided so much for us! There are upcoming expenses ahead but we trust the Lord to provide all that we need. He has always been faithful and generally through the generosity of His people.
Why Adoption?
Chris and I are celebrating our 10 year anniversary in a few months. 10 years ago we were discussing when to have children, not how. I had always had the dream of adopting in the back of my mind but we planned to have natural children before we even considered this. But life doesn’t always …

“The Heart of Man Devises His Way…”
“…but Yahweh determines his step” (Prov 16:9). We all make plans. We need to for many things in our lives and especially the most important things.
