Why Adopt? We know that many people will wonder why we are adopting, when we have two beautiful children of our own. Our life here on Earth is so limited. An elderly person will tell you that the years fly by. So, why not rescue a child from a life of despair, starvation, and abandonment. We have room in our home and more than enough room in our hearts, if we are willing to open up both. We know that the path will not be easy, but this does not prevent us from pursuing it. Adoption is a leap of faith, entering unknown territory. We know that we have the love and support from friends and family, but most of all we will be relying on God for strength and endurance on this journey.
"I will not leave you as orphans, I will come to you." John 14:18(this is a video clip I took in June when we first arrived at the orphanage, please scroll down & put music on pause before watching)
Congratulations on your adoption journey. We have adopted three kids through our adoption journeys and we have found that our kids have been the ones that have rescued us (even though we never realized we needed to be rescued!) and have given us joy beyond measure! They may not be biologically related to us, but they are OUR children. Adoption is an amazing, life changing experience and we are thankful to God each and every day for the three blessing we have in our life and for trusting us with guiding them through this life.
