Morning all! Since I get asked pretty much the same questions many times over, I thought it would be beneficial to start addressing some of those questions here. Today I'll hit on one or two so check back for updates to the FAQ's.
1. So, can you not have children of your own? Well, 13 yrs ago, God gave us a child by birth. He is our "own". Then, when he was nearing age 4, we discovered we couldn't have more children by birth without major fertility treatments. We were led to adoption and adopted 2 children from Korea(a few years apart) and they are our "own." Now, we are in the paperwork pregnancy for a toddler in Korea who has been waiting for a family of his "own." We will soon be united and will all belong to each other and he will be our "own" too! :) We think we are the luckiest people ever-we have experienced both! You see, blood line and biology do not a family make; but daily love, tears, work, commitment make us the family God planned.
2. Why don't you adopt an American baby, there are plenty who need homes right here? We figure since there are 143 million orphans in the world and about 200,000 children in the US foster system, there are plenty of needy children to go around! God called us to the children of Korea.
He has told you, O man, what is good; And what does the LORD require of you But to do justice, to love kindness, And to walk humbly with your God? Micah 6:8
