Adoption and Special Needs Resources
Followers
We wanted to have this blog to share what God has been doing in our lives, leading us to adopt a child with special needs. God has used many other families to challenge and encourage us, as He opened our hearts to the need and the blessing of adoption. Our hope is that this blog will give Him the glory for all of it, as well as be a way to keep friends and family up to date on our progress and provide encouragement to other families considering or pursuing an adoption. Thank you for sharing our journey and may God bless you!

Congratulations! It's been great keeping up with your journeys, both in Ukraine & stateside. You are almost finished with the process. I can't wait to hear about your return home. Give Sean a Big Hug for me. It was great meeting him and receiving his many hugs. He's a real sweetie! Enjoy the rest of the journey. :)
Blessings,
Meghan

Thanks!
Hey guys and Haylee!
How's everything going? Did Uncle Paul make it okay?
I got his text message Sunday that he was in Kiev, but wanted to be sure that he is with you.
We have been praying very hard for everyone ... to get healthy, be healthy and safe. (I've added everyone to the prayer chain at church!)
Love you all and look forward to seeing more pictures!!!!

Hurrah! This is a wonderful answer to prayer.
