Testimony Tuesday is dedicated to bringing you stories of our grant recipients. May you be encouraged through their stories…. Four years ago, the Lord placed our daughter Isabella in my heart… He instilled upon me three things… She would be born in China. We would find her on the special needs Waiting Child list. She would be my journey of faith. Each one of these proved to be true. Jesus...
Creating your adoption profile is one of the most important and daunting tasks that a couple must face when beginning the process of a domestic adoption. It's difficult to capture your life in twenty pages or less. How do you choose photos? What do you say about them? What do you share about yourselves and the future you hope to have with your children? You struggle with sounding braggy, or boring, or superficial, or fake. It's just difficult. But it...
Testimony Tuesday is dedicated to the stories of our grant recipients. May you be encouraged by their stories… “For no matter how many promises God has made, they are 'Yes' in Christ. And so through him the 'Amen' is spoken by us to the glory of God.”- 2 Corinthians 1:20 I have been studying about faith… really about God's faithfulness. His faithfulness to me is the reason for my faith in him. He is totally...
A couple days before we picked up our two children from Ethiopia, I stumbled across the above verse and I just could not help but to praise the Lord for hearing the cries of our children. Then, while we were in Ethiopia, we saw specific ways the Lord has responded to the cries of our two children. Let us share with you their stories so that you too will marvel at God’s disposition to hear the cries...
There is someone very dear to me who seeks someone to 'blame' for us adopting. I mean every.time.we.adopt. It's not necessarily about the children or where they are from, as it is a lack of understanding. Why would we choose to put ourselves through that? Why would we want more children?...

Our adoption journey began after complicated pregnancies. Although we were blessed with two healthy children, the news of not being able to have more was difficult for us. We began asking God to show us His will for our family. He led our hearts to adoption and in June of 2006 we welcomed Micah Henry Myeong home from South Korea.
You can tell that this author, Karen Henry Clark, has been through the adoption journey herself. Sweet Moon Baby is a wonderful adoption story. Clark bases this story on her journey to adopt her daughter. It takes the process of an adoption from China, and puts it in a fairytale or folk tale form. I think it is a wonderful way to approach talking to little ones about adoption – I would gear it for ages 3-5. You...
Testimony Tuesday is dedicated to the stories of our grant recipients. May you be encouraged by their stories….. God has done mighty things in our lives – each being called in different ways. God has brought our family on an incredible journey. A journey of enabling us to be able to become a mom, a dad and a brother to a little 2-year-old girl in Ethiopia. Wow! We have been carried through many of the stages of the adoption process...
I nervously sat across the room from Kaylan, the 13-year-old pregnant girl who had chosen to meet my husband and me after seeing our adoption profile at an agency. her belly was bulging under her rocker t-shirt and she was checking us out through her platinum-dyed bangs. I had my iPhone on record in my bag, hoping to get every word she said on record so I could go back and...
I was always that person that said, “Lord, I thank You that You call other folks to adopt older children…but it could never be me!” Funny how that works, isn’t it? In April 2009 the Lord gripped my heart for children aging out, forever...
