My Heart Overflows

Wow....thank you to everyone that prays for orphans and donates to families!! These kiddos and families can't do it alone! I checked our donations at Reecesrainbow and was so excited and thrilled and thankful to see we made it over the $1,000. Mark!! Yes!! We only need to raise $19,000 more! You guys rock! Again we can't see who donates so feel free to share with us if you like! We say thank you. We are in a race against time to get the older boy out of his facility. He is scheduled like usual to be transferred because he is 4 years old. The place he is to go to is among the worst!! There is a high death rate after transfer, about 80 to 90% die. Especially the kiddos that are not mobile or can't hold their bottles are at the highest risk. So much suffering...wish I could fix these things!! Hopefully the baby house can keep him a bit longer. Still waiting for our home study. Please pray for our paperwork to get finished and for our little guys to stay safe and if you need an end of the year tax deduction please consider a donation.

About a Girl

Merry Christmas to all. Sergei and Crosby will get to celebrate their first Christmas with a family! We are very excited yet know there are many who will be without a family once again. Things have been busy here as we have been helping a young lady and her baby find housing and a job. Not an easy thing to do to say the least. She is the product of a failed adoption. She had nobody and no where to go. All her relatives an ocean away and no contact information to reach them and unable to return to her country and a family that discarded her after she was adopted by them. She has spent years in and out of shelters and group homes and such. God is good and we found a nice place and she can start work soon. She will join us for Christmas and other family gatherings! It is a nightmare to try to figure out everything on your own without parents to help guide you, especially when you were not educated and cannot drive. It can be a scary world. Please consider reaching out to people in need. Now we can get busy getting ready to celebrate the birth of Jesus! We still need to find a tree and decorate and bake! Enjoy your families! We are blessed! Can't wait to get our new boys home....they will not get to celebrate this year but we are praying for them to stay strong and healthy! Donations appreciated!!!

A Little Town with a Big Heart

Again blessed by people in and around the community of Winneconne, WI! These people have the biggest hearts for orphans! Thank you to so many that made crafts and baked and shopped and donated towards our adoption of our next 2 special boys!! We couldn't do it without you! You are saving lives. Every dollar counts towards the freedom of orphans living in unbelievable conditions. It takes a village to raise a child but also to adopt a child!! A big thank you to Winneconne Christian Fellowship and the Birschbach family and youth group! They say the biggest reason people do not adopt is due to the huge cost. I know for many years we thought about international adoption of a child with special needs but then would think we don't have that kind of money. But finally God got a hold of us and said to step out in faith! For our last adoption we had to take out a loan for about half of the total fees, including travel but so many people also donated. People that don't even know us but have a love for orphans and obey God's commands about helping orphans! THANK YOU!💕💕💕💕💕💕😇

We are adopting again! What? Why would you do that? Don't you think you have your hands full?

Common responses we get along with looks of ????? you must be crazy and or stupid!

And as I was reading another post on a different families blog she had it laid out so well...

Yes we are tired some of the time
Yes we don't always get to sleep
Yes we have to give up a lot, like vacations and other "fun" things
Yes we have more bills
Yes we shop at 2nd hand stores
Yes we are busy and full...


But not too full to save a life! Through adoption our blessings increase each time!
More Joy
More Love
More Jesus
More Appreciation
More Gratitude

We will never stop fighting for orphans until they all have a home! Once your eyes are open to the terrible suffering, it is no longer an option to look the other way. Please join us in helping orphans around the world, especially those with special needs!
