We are asked this question on a regular basis...Why adopt? and why adopt from China? The first one is a little easier for us to answer and explain. God has called us to adopt. God says in the bible that we are all to care for the orphans. What exactly does that look like for everyone? For some it means donating money, for others it means leading mission trips to orphanages to help out and share the word. Then for us and many others it means adopting. The second question is a little harder for us to explain. It's hard to explain how God places a country so hard on your heart that it can literally make it hard to sleep. We researched other countries but we kept being pulled back to China. There was just something that stirred our hearts every time we talked about it. Every time we saw the face of a Chinese orphan we longed to bring them home. When we found out how these precious little ones wind up in these orphanages we knew that we couldn't just sit back and do nothing. For us, doing something, means adopting.
Now, here is how you can help, how you can be a part of Lorelei's story. Adopting costs money, lots of it. Usually more than any one family a lone can afford. so most families have fundraisers to raise the money needed. We are asking for each and every one of you to consider taking part in one of our fundraisers. This is your chance to not just donate to a good cause but to become part of her story, to literally change a little girls life. How great a feeling it is to know that you helped bring an orphan into a loving forever home. A little girl, that without your help, will never know what its like to have a mommy to kiss away the boo boos or a chance to be a daddy's girl. Every child deserves a loving family. We are asking for your help in bringing our little girl home to us. Home to a mommy and daddy and siblings who love her so much already.
