Go.Be.Love - Blain Family Adoption
Donation protected
“I used to think you had to be special for God to use you, but now I know you simply need to say yes.” - Bob Goff
Our family is so glad we decided to say, YES! Yes to God's plan for our lives, yes to our son waiting for us in China, and yes to the journey ahead. We are the Blain family and we are thrilled to announce our commitment to adopt and bring home a son from China. It is our belief that every child is deserving of a loving home. Our family means everything to us and part of our motivation to adopt comes from our deep love for our children and our Christian faith. It is heartbreaking to know that so many children (orphans) worldwide are without the love of a family. God has blessed us abundantly with three wonderful children, a strong marriage, and a great community of family and friends. It has been our heart to share these blessings with a waiting child, to adopt a child that no one else was coming for. While researching, we were drawn to the large number of children who wait in China, specifically those with medical needs. Our sweet boy is waiting for us in China and was born with Down syndrome. While Down Syndrome is his "special need," his greatest need is love. And a family.
"But here is the glory part. When we utter even the weakest yes, we find God to be big. Bigger than we once thought. Bigger than our lack. Bigger than our doubt. Bigger than the needs before us. Bigger than we can comprehend. Bigger. And He proves Himself good, steady, intentional, on time, able, strong, and sovereign." - via No Hands But Ours
We believe that God invites us all to be a part of something bigger. Would you join us in bringing home our son? The cost of international adoption can be overwhelming, but it is so worthy of our time and efforts. We have a short amount of time to raise a significant amount of money. The total cost of our adoption is approximately $30,000 and we have already made a great dent in these expenses through savings and fundraising. We hope this campaign will bridge the gap and help us to bring our boy home. While adoption and fundraising is a humbling process, it also gives us the opportunity to invite other people into our son's story. Everyone has the chance to Go and BE LOVE! Every gift helps, whether it is encouragement, prayers, or if you feel led, financially.
With much love and gratitude,
The Blain Fmily
