We are John and Payton Hoerner. We have been married for almost 5 years. Our desire to grow our family is strong and unifying in our marriage. We learned a few years into our marriage that John was diagnosed with testicular cancer. Praise God, John is now cancer free and thriving. Due to this diagnosis, we are unable to conceive children, however our hearts continue to long for children. Our desire and hearts for adoption go back to our dating relationship before we ever experienced fertility difficulties. We always hoped to adopt one day. God has brought us to adoption sooner than later and we are so grateful for His sovereignty and perfect plan for us. He has always provided every need! We have been awarded a $17,500 matching grant from RACE for the Orphans Adoption Fund, administered by Lifesong for Orphans and are so grateful for their partnership! Every dollar donated will be matched dollar for dollar up to $17,500.
“The heart of man plans his way, but The Lord establishes his steps.” Proverbs 16:9
