Olivia-5 (adopted from Hunan, China in 2007 at 9 mths)

We feel blessed that the Lord called us to adoption! We strive to raise all 5 of our children to His standards!
Pure and undefiled religion in the sight of our God and Father is this: To take care of the orphans and the widows in their distress, and to keep oneself unstained by the world.
Matthew 18:5a-
And whoever receives one such child in My name, also receives Me!
John 14:18
I will not leave you as orphans; I will come to you!
