Thank you for visiting our site!  We want to share with you a little about who we are and what God is doing in our lives.  Our latest adventure is our adoption of our child born in Guatemala.  This is quite the journey, and we are looking forward to bringing home the child God has chosen for us.  We realize that we cannot possibly convey how excited we are about our adoption through this site alone, but our hope is that you will see a glimpse of where God is leading us and what is happening.  Please visit often!

• Learn more about who we are.
• Get updates on where we are in the adoption process.
• See the latest photos of us and our baby.
• Check up on how God has answered our prayers and what we need prayer for.
• See where we are in our fund raising goal and our latest fund raising event.

We have also updated our worksheet to answer a fairly common question we have been getting for those who are curious- "How much does it cost?" It shows all the detailed costs involved in our adoption and what we have paid so far.   It also has how much we have raised so far for our goal and how much is left!  This sheet reflects our costs to the best of our ability at this time, but only represents our Guatemalan adoption!  Every adoption is different and could have different fees and costs.
