We believe children are a blessing from the Lord (Ps. 127:3). In the desire to grow our family, we were open to the Lord adding to our crew through more biological children or another adoption. To us, it’s all the same. After 4 consecutive miscarriages, biological children are no longer an option for us. In all we’ve been through, this decision wasn’t hard to make nor did it grieve us. We grieve the lives of our babies, but not the loss of having biological children. Adoption is a beautiful way to love babies and provide families for children.
Our hearts for adoption have only grown since bringing our daughter home from India in July 2022. This time, we’re pursuing domestic adoption and will most likely welcome a sweet baby into our family!
Our family is full of a lot of love and laughter, and we’re excited for the joy another child will bring to it. We’re beyond grateful for any amount you choose to give.
We have been awarded $7305 in matching grants from Lifesong for Orphans + Old Town Baptist Church Adoption Fund. Every donation is tax deductible and will be doubled up to our goal amount!
