Hello,
We are Daniel and Patricia from North Carolina, and we have ten children. Seven were adopted from these countries: India, Estonia, Ukraine and we are now headed to Kyrgyzstan for some more!
Our story started in 2008 when we heard God's call to increase our family through adoption. It is always a monumental task each time. And each time God has faithfully supplied every need to bring our children home.
Our faith is what guides us to obedience to our God. We have enjoyed raising our children, even when things got tough. But God has always been at the center of it all. There is no better place to be than in God's will.
We thought we were finished adopting, but through some friends we heard about some children that needed a home. We said yes, and then Daniel was involved in a head-on collision and ended up with a broken back and neck. He should have not survived. Unfortunately, we had to place the adoption on hold because it was not the right time.
Three years later, these children were still on our minds. We called the agency to inquire again about them thinking they would have been adopted. To our sad surprise, nobody had even asked about them!
So here we are with an amazing opportunity to bring these children home, and we are looking to raise $65,000.00 to cover part of the adoption costs. This is not just about us growing our family but giving these children an opportunity to stay together and to make sure that the oldest child does not age out before it is too late.
We have received a matching grant of $4,000.00 from Lifesong and another matching grant from Josiah's Adoption Fund for $4,500.00. All gifts are tax deductible and 100 percent of the donations will go to this adoption.
We are so incredibly grateful to have the privilege to adopt these children, and we ask you to please pray for us. Your contribution of any size will help us race to the finish line and bring these children home.
Thank you for being part of this story!
Daniel and Patricia
