Our Adoption Journey Begins

People ask me. "What about gay adoptions? Interracial? Single Parent?" I say. "Hey fine, as long as it works for the child and the family is responsible." My big stand is this: Every child deserves a home and love. Period.
- Dave Thomas. Founder of Wendy's and adopted child

It's really hard to know where to begin or how we arrived here! Suffice it to say, we're in the midst of something glorious! We have been so blessed to have four beautiful biological children of our own and for all of us to enjoy good health. It only makes sense then to extend the love that we share in our own family to two children without a family of their own.

Current estimates indicate there are approximately 140 million orphans scattered throughout the world. To place more emphasis, there are currently 140,000,000 children in this world that have no family of their own. Given the resources we have on this planet, this is a statistic that seems staggering to comprehend. While we cannot realistically help every one of these children, there is no reason why we cannot help reduce that number in our own way.

Through God's help, we have been able to be matched with two of the most adorable boys (brothers) that we could ever imagine adopting.......Daniel (5) and Deric (3)!!!
