Waiting For a Petite Puskas
Jeremy and Dianna
Piedmont, South Carolina
Dianna and Jeremy are the epitome of opposites attracting. Different family backgrounds, interests, and personalities collided when they came together. Now, after 10 years of marriage, they want to share the overflow of love which ties them together with a child.
Dianna and Jeremy have experienced the adoptive love of God in a real and personal way since being adopted by Him as His children. Dianna and Jeremy chose not to have children the "normal" way. They have both been advocates and supporters of orphans in the past, so they chose to take the next step by sharing their love and family with a child who has none, just as God has done by giving them a heavenly family.
There are countless children in the world who are in need of a home, and Dianna and Jeremy want to provide that home to one of those children (or two if they are siblings), but first they needed to narrow the search. As first time adoptive parents, they researched and prayed about the right place to look for their future child. This search lead them to China. Adoption from anywhere is costly, and there is very little help to be found for those expenses. After living frugally, sacrificing many things they wanted, and saving as much as possible, they always knew that they would have to rely, at least in part, on the generousity of their family and friends to make bringing home a child a reality.
Please join them in fundraising (since they also are continuing to set aside money) and praying for their unknown, future child who, for now, is known simply as Little Bear.

Andre is very excited about this adoption! I'm sure you already know that. With his adoption, we were given money from surprising places and we have been committed to be used as that surprise for others. We wish you a joy filled journey. The road will have a few hills and valleys but will be well worth the trip. You go into adoption with others telling you that what you are doing for this child is such a wonderful thing, but if you are like our family, the two of you will be the ones blessed beyond belief. Be patient and don't expect perfection. My soul still lights up at the memory of the first 6 months of taking Andre to the grocery store (he was 2). The elation that beamed from his face at the realization that there was that much food, and that we were taking some of it home - well, it was humbling for me, and there was no way you could leave Bi-Lo depressed. You will find times that absolutely clench your heart in a way you have never felt before. I know we have. The Newtons
We have our plane tickets! It won't be long now until we can go and hold Levi. This is getting more real every day.
With thirteen days left in our fundraising campaign, we are still praying hard for our little Levi. Our travel plans have been delayed since our I800 paperwork has still not been returned. While the delay is only five weeks, it still feels like a punch to the gut. We are so looking forward to meeting our son. Thank you all for your continued support and prayers.
The last week has been an amazing rush! We have accepted a match for a little boy. He is 20 months old and has PKU. We are going to name him Levi. We also have a tentative travel date to China of March 28th!
Merry Christmas from Dianna and Jeremy. We have been so grateful for the gracious contributions that have been made. We are continuing to pray for our "Little Bear" and that they would be safe and warm this Christmas. We have 60 days to go, and we are 15% to our goal. We can hardly wait to see what God is going to do as this year comes to a close.
We are so grateful for our friends and family who have donated so far. This last week was rather emotional as we continue to pray for our "Little Bear." We know that we will get the call in God's timing.
Our adoption fundraiser is LIVE! We are so grateful for any donations and prayers that our friends and family provides as we continue to wait for "Little Bear."
