Growing Matt and Allison's Family

Adoption--welcoming and loving a child who is not yours by genetics but is yours in heart and mind.  The love is joyful, the love is intense, the love is a love like no other.  God adopted us as His sons and daughters through the death and resurrection of His only Son, Jesus.  He has welcomed us with open and loving arms.  God recieves us as sons and daughters with no limitations and He holds nothing back from us.  We are heirs of His.  This is a beautiful picture of adoption and one that has played a large role in our hearts for adoption!

We both knew that we would one day like to adopt children to grow our family before we even started dating. God had brought together two individuals with a heart for adoption.  Through a sermon on Sanctity of Life Sunday in 2015 we knew that God had called us to open the doors to adoption before trying to have biological children.  We started the paperwork soon after that sermon.  It was a 3+ year journey which included paperwork, homestudy, a lot of not being the chosen family, a miscarriage, and finally the gift of a precious baby boy!  We soaked in every moment of our new family of three and the love that was instantanously there! God had given us the desires of our hearts and answered our prayers.  We felt that the Lord however was not done growing our family through adoption but surrendered our hearts and time table to Him.  Now fast foward 5 years later and God has opened the door!  We are now matched with a precious baby girl and anticipate her arrival this winter. 

Unfortunately adoption is costly and so is traveling to our daugther. We would love if you would consider partnering with us and  helping us to raise the remaining funds that we need to bring our baby girl home!  Our family is waiting with open arms, loving hearts, and are ready to share our love and devotion to our newest family member.  Thank you for helping us bring her home!
