Support Our Adoption

We invite you to support our adoption in two important ways.

First we ask for your support in prayer.  

We ask for your prayer support for:

• Stamina! We have mounds of paper-work to complete, and then many months of waiting.
• Favor with the Chinese government and all processes therein
• Clarity for our agency as they determine what child with what specific medical conditions to match us with.
• And lastly, we ask that you pray for both our daughter and her birth parents. We don’t know if our daughter is even conceived yet, but inevitably she will be born and her mother will, for many reasons, have to make the difficult decision to give her up. We ask that you pray that God would comfort our daughter's birth mother, and that our daughter would know she is loved and longed for.

Secondly we ask that you consider supporting our adoption through giving.

We plan to fund our adoption through 3 different avenues:

1. The first being our own personal financial commitment as a couple to save all we can in order to contribute towards our adoption expenses. We have been so fortunate to have already put back a little more than half of the total costs we are estimating.
2. Secondly, we are looking into applying for grant money from Steven Curtis Chapman’s organization showhope.org.
3. And thirdly, we ask that you pray about donating directly to our adoption fund.  With the cost being about $30,000+, we know we need the support of friends and family to help bring us to our little girl in China. 

If God leads you to help financially, we are raising funds through PureCharity.  

Two options for giving include:

• Tax deductible donation online to our fund at PureCharity by clicking on the link below

Thank you so much for your prayers, support and encouragement.  

We are blessed to have all of you praying for us and supporting us on this journey.
