We think of you often, and we pray for your well-being and peace of mind.

Keeping in Touch
As mentioned above, we were blessed to adopt our two boys. From the first days of life, we established blogs for Nathan and Matthew. We update the blogs with pictures and life’s happenings regularly and would love to do the same for your little one.
Thoughts on Adoption
We believe adoption is truly a miracle and feel there is another child who will be cherished in our family. Their adoption story will be told frequently. As they grow, they will develop an appreciation for their roots, and know how much they are loved.
Wishing you the very best,
David, Kara, Nathan, and Matthew
