About this Fundraiser

¡Tenemos gran noticias!

We are so thrilled to share the news that we are following the Lord's call to adopt a child in Colombia! This calling has been on our hearts since college, when Hilary spent a summer in El Salvador and ignited a passion for the Spanish language and the amazing children that speak the language, and Michael similarly made the decision to move to Honduras after graduating, gaining equally strong passions to spread the love of Christ to orphans. When we got married in 2012, international adoption was something we knew we wanted to pursue, but we weren't sure when or how this calling would come to fruition, so we approached the topic for years with open hands. After having our two beautiful daughters (Addie (4) and Nora (2)), the Lord began giving us a lot of peace and confidence about how he would continue writing our story of parenthood- that he desired to grow our family through adoption, specifically in Latin America. 

What we experienced in orphanages in Central America changed our lives. We saw children who deeply and desperately needed love and care that pointed them to Christ. We saw brokenness, extreme pain and sadness and loneliness; but we also saw sweet joy and innocence and incredible redemption through extremely difficult circumstances. We praise the Lord for protecting these beautiful children, and we left our experiences hoping that one day He would allow us to play a part in the story he was writing for one of these children, by allowing them to join our family forever. 

In doing research on adoption in Latin America, we were led to a great agency in Lifeline Children's Services.  With their guidance and education, we plan to adopt a child between 0-4 years of age through their program in Colombia.  

We believe in adoption, because we believe that because of the life of Jesus, we are all adopted into God's family. Without the Lord, we all wander lost as orphans, and in His incredible grace and loving kindness, he adopts us as His sons and daughters. We are a broken and undeserving people, and we are so thankful for the mercies He daily bestows on us. 

We pray that this adoption journey would draw our family nearer to the Lord, as He guides each and every step and we place our complete trust in Him. If you feel led, we would love for you to partner with us as we follow our call to adopt in Colombia. We are humbled and grateful for the incredible support of those who love us. 

¡Gracias!
