It is such a blessing to build families in a broken world. It is a joy to witness childless parents experience the peace and happiness of finally having a child of their own. Or to see brothers and sisters open their arms to a new sibling. It is especially satisfying to see an abandoned, helpless child move from a desperate situation to one of health, safety and love. Our daughter Rachelle, whom we adopted from South America in 1989, has made our family complete.
International adoption takes courage, faith, commitment and patience.
You may not know if you can handle the emotional roller-coaster. Yet, God promises to help those who know and trust and believe on Him. God loves you and He loves His children. I cannot promise that adopting a child will be easy, but I can promise we will never forsake you or quit. Over 16,000 children a year are adopted by American parents from abroad.
