What they assumed would be a short and sweet story of God creating their little family through years of unsuccessful fertility treatments and eventually the foster and adoptive community, has evolved into a never ending love story. After the adoption of their first son, Nickolas, in 2020, the flame was lit. Not only were they made aware of how crucial the call is to love the orphans, but they also learned how great the need is. During their first placement, it was obvious that a reliable and resourceful support system was critical to the success of their ability to care for the children placed in their home.

There was a constant need for educational support to enable them to parent and empower children from hard places. And finally, the need to have the time and space to ensure they were mentally, physically and spiritually well.
