Hey y'all!
We have this crazy BIG NEWS!!!
We are adopting a child!
After much prayer and thought, couple of years ago we decided to pursue adoption. It was such a huge leap of faith, not really knowing what lies ahead. While our biggest question was how are we going to manage the cost involved, the toughest was from where do we adopt. No greater joy than becoming a family to a child from our own ethnicity and culture and from a nation that has more than 1 million children in need of a home and family. Thus we fixed on India.
At the children's homes we have volunteered and served in the past in India, we would always leave with a heavy heart that we cannot take any of them home and be a family to them. We believe no child should be orphaned or abandoned, and that every child deserves a joy filled, loving and nurturing home. We want to be one such home.
We have truly been experiencing God's grace, guidance and providence
through every step of the way. Yes, even through all the major downs,
sleepless nights, waiting for answers, anxious moments and so on!
When times were just stuck, one of us even wondered if Adoption
is right! God in His great mercy confirmed so clearly through this
marvelous verse “In love, He predestined us to be adopted as His
sons through Jesus Christ, in accordance with His will . . . "
Ephesians 1:5
We are currently in the process and we don't really
know how much more we wait, but we are beyond excited and want to be
prepared as we wait to receive this new life into our home.
It may surprise you to learn that adoption-related costs can
easily total up around Canadian $40,000 or more. This is why we have
set a goal of $40,000 to help ease the financial burden that
overwhelms adoptive parents. Hence as part of our adoption process,
we have started this fundraiser seeking your support.
Adoption being very special to God's heart, He calls each of us to support adoptions in some way - it can be by
- becoming adoptive parents,
- financially supporting adoptions,
- partnering in prayer, or
- volunteering to be in our fundraising team
By inviting you into our adoption journey, we hope that you will see yourself as part of the community we hope to build around our child as he/she grows up. We have seen God's providence time and again and we continue to trust that He will provide in accordance with His plan.
If you are unable to donate financially, we would be so grateful if
you would partner with us in prayer. Our hearts are filled with
gratitude for your prayer, donation, and encouragement. Thank you
very much for taking the time to read this, praying, donating and sharing!
Much love and blessings,
Luciya & George
