I also think people hear stories of adoption more often from people who can’t have children. So again, why would we adopt?
Our answer… simply because God told us too!
The idea of adoption is something that has been planted in my heart since December of 2005. You can read all of our story here to learn more about how God worked in our hearts to adopt.
Adoption means more to us than growing our family. It means more than having a little girl. We feel it is our biblical responsibility to take care of orphans.
This whole process for us has been a little over 5 years. During those years, God has revealed to us scripture after scripture about His emphasis and desire to see the church (His people) minister to orphans and widows. Scott and I have prayed about so many things…. foster care, financially supporting an orphanage, supporting an individual orphan, supporting someone that is adopting, starting an orphan/widow ministry in church…. and adoption.
And, because we are seeking to be obedient to what God has called us too… we reap the blessing of obedience… a precious child!
