 Our Adoption Story
Our decision to adopt stems from our desire to carry out the will of God in our lives. God doesn’t call everyone to adopt, but He has called us. What better way to share the love of God with a child than to provide for their every need? To provide a safe haven where love is unconditional and family is forever.  We chose to adopt a child with severe special needs because we know God will provide us with what we need to care for her.  She is so deserving of a family and we can be that family for her.  Her needs don't scare us because we have God on our side.  He loves her just as much as He loves healthy children.  Why should our love be any different?

Adoption Scripture:
“Pure and genuine religion in the sight of God means caring for orphans and widows.” James 1:27

 “Once our eyes are opened, we can’t pretend we don’t know what to do.” Proverbs 24:12  This was all the verification we needed to know this is God’s calling for our family. We know what to do.

 “God sets the lonely in families.” Psalm 68:6
