We are expecting...

...a TODDLER!!!  Yup!!  And we are more than excited about his "birth" into our family! 


See that sweet little face? That is Dmitry, he just turned 2 in April. He is currently living in a baby house in Eastern Europe, but he will not stay there for long. Because he was born with Down Syndrome, he will never be accepted by society in his home country. At 4 years old, he will be transferred to an institution where he will almost certainly die by the age of 6. Brian and I are on a mission to save his life. He is so precious and is already our son in our hearts, but we want him to be ours forever. We want him to come and live with us and to know what it feels like to have a family that will love him unconditionally. In order to make this happen, we have to raise $25,000. Seems like quite a feat, right? We thought so too, but the Bible tells us that if we have faith as small as a mustard seed, we can move mountains and nothing will be impossible for us. God has laid it on our hearts to save one of his orphans and we are relying on faith to bring him home. 

One less orphan!!
