THE STORY

This is our journey to adopt our second "stone" from China.  We never could have imagined what God had in store as we followed him down the uncharted path to adopt our first daughter Addison from China in 2006.  It was literally love at first sight & she has brought our family unexplainable joy.  The fire to adopt again has been in us ever since but with planting & pastoring a growing new church then looking at launching a second campus, it seemed as if God's plan for our lives was to focus on "birthing churches" not children...haha.  Well...that was until this past winter when He wrecked our hearts again & allowed that spark that had been smoldering there to become a full blaze.  So here we are, both in our young 40's, two kids in elementary school, in the middle of a huge endeavor to launch a 2nd campus, yet knowing without a doubt that God is leading us to adopt again.  See what we've learned along the way is that God's ways are higher than ours and His path is always greater than ours.  It doesn't always make sense & can put those of us who like to be in control to the test, but what better place to be than clinging desperately to the One who created you.
