How you can support our adoption journey

As you probably know by now, we are about to begin the process to adopt from Ukraine again. We are excited and anxious to meet the child that God has chosen to be a part of our family.

So how can you help?

PRAYER
So many of you played an important role in William's adoption by supporting us through prayer. And we need your help again! Please pray for:

  • Those who will assist us in the adoption process (U.S. coordinator, Ukrainian facilitation team, etc.)
  • Timely and accurate processing of all documents
  • William: he is excited about becoming a big brother, but will definitely be faced with some adjustments
  • Zack & me: that we make wise decisions throughout the process, and that we will be the parents God wants us to be for both of our children
  • All three of us as we attempt to brush up on our Russian language skills

Please especially lift up our little one who is in Ukraine, waiting on a family. Pray for his/her health and happiness, for those who are caring for him/her, and for the biological family. Pray that he or she will readily adapt to a new family, language, and culture.

And most importantly, pray that God will be glorified throughout our journey.

FINANCES
Another way that many of you helped us the first time around was through financial contributions. We are forever grateful to those who supported us in this way, and made the dream of William's homecoming a reality.

We have been discussing and planning our second adoption for a while, and have been able to work our finances so that we will be able to fund this adoption ourselves.

Because we will not be asking for financial support, won't you please make a tax-deductible donation to Vera's adoption fund, so that she can have a forever family? This would be a great honor to us and our children! There are 43 days left in Vera's adoption, and we need to raise $670 more to reach our goal!
