Our Adoption Journey

This journey has been a long time coming. We have wanted to adopt for nearly 10 years now.  We have always had a heart for children that may not have a family.  How that would look in our life was not clear until recently.  We began to discuss this more seriously after our youngest child was born.  Our precious church family has adopted numerous children and this helped grow this desire even more.  We decided that we would adopt as soon as I graduated from Seminary and had acquired a full-time ministry position.  After months of seeking a position, it became clear that this was going to be a long process, and we began to consider the possibility that God may want us to go ahead with the adoption process.  After just a few days of prayer and talking with friends, we were certain that the Lord wanted us to begin the process.  We immediately put the search for a ministry position on hold and got our home and family ready to welcome a new child.  Since the decision, the Lord has taught us incredible truths about our own adoption into His family.  We invite you to join us on this journey. Whether through prayer, financial contribution, or both, you can be a part of bringing our little one home very soon! Thank you for your love and support!
