"Whoever receives one little child like this in My name receives Me" (Matthew 18:5).
"Defend the poor and fatherless; Do justice to the afflicted and needy" (Psalm 82:3).
When God confirms something in both of your hearts as right and honoring to Him, it will come to fruition. In that confidence, my wife and I have stepped out in faith to adopt.
We both love kids and have compassion on single mothers trying to do the right thing. Especially those choosing to give their child up for adoption verses the "easier" route of abortion.
With Roe v. Wade being overturned this year, we're thrilled with the timing to provide a loving and Christ-centered home to this child.
The costs are very real, but we know He owns the "cattle on a thousand hills" and will help us with the practical side of the process.
Should you decide to partner with us to bring this beautiful little baby boy or girl into our home, you will all be their "God-parents" and store up treasures in heaven.
We look forward to eventually holding them in our arms and dedicating them to Him from those first moments!
All our love,
Elijah and Regina
