Religion that God our Father accepts as pure and faultless is this: to look after orphans and widows in their distress and to keep oneself from being polluted by the world. James 1:27 (NIV)

Adoption!

Adoption is the heart of God.  

It is the means by which He has included us in his family.

...just as He chose us in Him before the foundation of the world, that we would be holy and blameless before [a]Him. In love  [b]He predestined us to adoption as sons through Jesus Christ to Himself, according to the [c]kind intention of His will, to the praise of the glory of His grace, which He freely bestowed on us in the Beloved.  Ephesians 1: 4-6


We feel so humbled that He would choose us to adopt.  The last 20 months have been amazing as we have delighted in watching Alex grow and develop.  We are so blessed to have him as part of our family.  

A few months ago, we began to feel that familiar tug on our hearts. The feeling that God was not finished with our family.  After much prayer, we knew that we had to say "Yes".  We are willing to be used by the Lord in whatever way He wants.  So, once again, we will travel across the ocean to bring a special little boy into our home.  He will be added to our family and loved like our others.  Our whole family is excited with anticipation of their new brother.


Introducing "Tony"
(He will be given an appropriate "A" name, we just haven't decided, yet)
We hope to have him home in June, 2014.
