Hello Sweet Friends! Thank you all so very much for stopping in to read our story.
When Kevin and I met and married we knew we wanted to have a family, but we just didn’t quite know what that would look like for us. As we both were already in our mid 40’s and feeling the desire to give a family to children in need, we realized that adoption was the best fit. With an estimated 153 million orphans worldwide, one of the hardest groups to place are older sibling groups. Kevin and I immediately knew, this was what God was calling us to do...to keep a family together while also building our own. Being a little older ourselves and having worked in education for over 20 years, it seemed a perfect fit. So, after much prayer and discussion we applied to bring home a sibling group of 4 from the Philippines. Yes. 4. One boy and three girls ages 6-12. This month we were officially invited to submit our dossier!
This is an amazing step forward, but with each new step we take toward bringing them home, an adoption fee awaits. We have quickly realized that we just can’t do this alone. Rather than shying away from the looming financial challenge ahead of us, we decided to face this head on and let the world know that we need help. 100 percent of the money raised here will go directly toward the cost of our international adoption. If we find that we have been blessed beyond what we need for the adoption, we will be donating the remaining funds to the orphanage in which our children reside. It is an amazing Christian run orphanage that is doing so much to help children in need.
Therefore, we humbly ask that you consider being part of our journey. Partner with us in this amazing journey. We can’t do it alone. Help us climb this mountain, so that we can cross that ocean and bring our children home.
