All I really want for Christmas is a family

I can't help but think about the orphans all around the world when I hear this song. It always makes me cry and I think about "my kids" in the Ukraine. That's all these kids ask for. This is what they pray for.....a family. They desire the unconditional love of a mom and dad. They long to be loved and cared for. Are you called to adopt? Are you called to help those who want to adopt? Please allow God to speak to your heart on what part you are called to do. In God's Word, He tells us to care for the orphans. He loves them so much and desires for us to love them too. (watch the video with the little boy in the picture...they all have the same song but it's the official video)
Merry Christmas!

All I really want for Christmas is to be the family for some of the children. God is preparing us to bring children into our home, and we can't wait to go to Ukraine and get them! God is providing the funds we need, though we still have quite a way to go, but we are so excited by how He leads and guides and provides. I pray more and more Christian families will hear God's call to adopt and that still others will help those families financially and by surrounding them with help and love when they are home.

Merry Christmas! С Рождеством!

Today is our daughter's birthday and she is spending it in an orphanage. All day, I've been grieving for her and the millions of orphans who do not have families. I am so encouraged by your faithfulness to minister to the orphans in Ukraine and inspired by your passion for those without families! Happy New Year to you and your family!

How is your trip planning going? Any fundraisers you can tell us about so we can spread the word??
