I really enjoy calling families (usually talk to the Mom) to tell them we are sending them a grant check for their adoption. The gratitude and emotion expressed back to us many times are overwhelming. I won’t be able to recreate the experience in an email, but I want to tell you about…
Words cannot express how deeply thankful we are for your generous grant. My husband and I cried tears of happiness after receiving your phone call with the great news. It has been a very difficult journey knowing that our second daughter’s living conditions are not very safe. We have been praying for her…
We Almost Missed This. I didn’t want to say yes. I wanted someone else to say yes. Someone else could fundraise and do paperwork and travel across the ocean. I made all the excuses. I am really busy. We already have a lot of kids. I work and homeschool and drive some kids…
My husband and I, both from early ages, dreamed of building a family both biologically and through adoption.

We had really good guides this time that helped us get out and explore the culture more this time. Most importantly Hope is amazing!!…
I wanted to send you an update and tell you ‘Thank You!’ for supporting our adoption last year! Zeb has been home for one year and the changes that we have seen in him are nothing short of a miracle. When we adopted him from Ukraine last year, he had just turned 2…
We got our daughter, and found her to be very sick and more malnourished than we knew. It is so good we got to her quickly. What a blessing that was. She is home, she is lovely, and she is an absolute treasure. She just turned two. She is learning to walk slowly,…
I wanted to give you an update on our little treasure. She is all and much more of anything we anticipated.. She is such a firecracker and already loves the Lord. She sings Jesus loves me and rocks it !! God is so wise and knows exactly what he is doing and I…
