A new season.

Spring brings new growth, weeds out the old, and makes room for something beautiful. It breathes new life into the world around us. Because of spring, we know that no winter lasts forever.

I feel we are in the winter months of our adoption process. Waiting, and hopeful the wait will be over soon.

We have had several situations present themselves to us, but have to keep specifics confidential. We have prayerfully considered each situation, and pray over each decision to have our profile shown to an expectant mother, and family. The Lord knows the child that He will bless our family with, and we are only waiting for Him to make that known to us. And we trust that He will, in His time.

So during the wait, we just continue to draw closer to Him, pray, and wait for what He has in store for us.

We still have many puzzle pieces available to sponsor, or adopt. And so we thought, that maybe by starting a new fundraiser, we could start chipping away at this puzzle, and get every single piece sold!

We have launched a second t-shirt fundraiser. For each t-shirt that is sold, the person purchasing a shirt will also have their name put on the back of a puzzle piece!

When each piece of the puzzle has been sponsored, or adopted, we will frame the puzzle in two-sided glass and hang in our child's room, so that he or she can see all who helped bring home our missing piece.

We have a goal to sell 50 t-shirts. Will you help us reach our goal?

Please continue to keep us in prayer. Adoption is hard. The wait is hard. But we know that in the end, it'll all be worth it. When we are looking at the precious babe that the Lord has for our family, we will know that each heartache was worth it. He has a plan. And he has a purpose. And we are thankful for this calling he's placed on our life.

Ecclesiastes 3:1-8
For everything there is a season, and a time to every purpose under the heavens. A time to be born, and a time to die; a time to plant, and a time to uproot. A time to slay, and a time to heal; a time to break down, and a time to build up. A time to weep and a time to laugh; a time to mourn and a time to dance. A time to cast away stones, and a time to gather stones; a time to embrace and a time to refrain from embracing. A time to seek, and a time to lose; a time to keep and a time to cast away. A time to tear down and a time to mend; a time to be silent and a time to speak. A time to love and a time to hate; a time for war and a time for peace.

So many promises. And these promises, he will fulfill.

We are thankful for you; and we love you friends.


-Kevin & Amber

Thinking Back | Looking Forward

One year ago today, we were completing our fourth and final homestudy. Just a short month later would find out that we were homestudy approved. It's been a long year in some ways, but I remember the whirlwind of it all in the beginning, just like it was yesterday. So many requirements to be met, and me; I want to have everything done right now, and done the right way the first time. And now, some days are just quiet. Very quiet. Going into adoption, we knew we'd be faced with a wait. We went into this process knowing that the average wait in adoption is one to two years. Does knowing that make it any easier enduring the wait? Not at all. However, we know that in time, this calling to adoption that was placed on our lives, will all come together. And when it does, we will understand the things that right now we do not. Over the past year while getting calls about potential situations, both with Choosing Hope Adoptions, and the National Down Syndrome Adoption Network, saying ...

Help us Bring Home our Missing Piece

Starting the New Year with "Help us Bring Home our Missing Piece" Fundraiser! As many of you know, we are home study approved, and we are only waiting for a family to be matched with! Placement of a child could be a soon as next month, in the months to come, or even in a year. We simply do not know! And as we all know, adoption is not cheap. While we are contributing, saving, and working to take care of the cost that surrounds adoption, we have given you, our friends and fami ly, many ways to be a part of this adoption. And we thank you for the outpouring of support you have been to us in our journey so far! We know that God is writing a story here and we are simply following his path, and plan for our lives! We have two puzzles that we’ve created; each 11x14 puzzle is made up of 252 pieces. We are “selling” each puzzle piece for $20.00. You can choose to buy 1, 2, 3, or 10 pieces! There is no limit! Once you purchase a piece, we will write your name on the back of...

thirty four

Missing pieces do more than complete a puzzle. They fill in an empty space. It's been a good week! At the beginning of 2017 we launched our newest fundraiser; "Help us Bring Home our Missing Piece." After kicking off the fundraiser, we sold our first two pieces! And then, last Sunday, we set a goal to "sell" 10 puzzle pieces. Our goal of 10 puzzle pieces was far exceeded; we sold 34 just this week! On Facebook, we mentioned the wonderful gentleman who wanted to purchase all 10 pieces, to help us meet our goal. He was purchasing them in honor of his family members. When listing out those family members, he named 12, and said he wanted to buy all 12. After he wrote them down, and was figuring it all up, he ended up with 15 pieces! A sweet friend of mine, her prayer group (15 individuals), all of whom we do not know, they all purchased one piece each as well! What a blessing! Two of Kevin's friends from work purchased one each. And a family member also ...
