My
Heart and Vision
There are a lot of children who need loving families to be a part of.
My heart for this ministry was birthed while on my own adoption journey.
My husband and I were very overwhelmed with the entire process. Not
only were there mountains of information to sift through, adoption was
financially daunting and the waiting period was one of most difficult.
Like us, there are many Christian couples who are supported and loved,
yet feel alone in the process. I want to be there for couples not just
naturally, providing information and financial assistance, but spiritually,
offering prayer, support and encouragement during a very vulnerable
time of life. My long term vision is to support couples, selected agencies,
orphanages and to provide a network in the Pacific Northwest.
