Take The First Step




“We knew that there were many children waiting to be a part of a family.”

Christian missionaries Craig and Michelle have heard their friends’ stories of adoption and how blessed they are with the new additions to their family. After trying unsuccessfully to have children, the couple chose to go down the same road of adoption.

They went first to Chosen Children Village Foundation, and from there, were led to KBF. Once they contacted KBF, they were encouraged and led carefully through each step of the adoption process which they found to be much faster compared to other adoption processes they heard about. All their questions were answered; the social workers were always on top of the paper work and even accompanied them to court and testified on their behalf.

The couple shared, “when we first found out that they had been matched with a child, we were so excited that we wanted to jump in the car and drive five hours just to our child!”

When they first met their children, they were so happy. They felt so blessed by God that He brought them all the way to the Philippines to be with Justin, 11, and Ashlyn, 2, who, without a doubt, were meant to be with their family. “They must be pretty special for God to arrange a meeting like that!”

They have never regretted for one day that they adopted. Everyday with their children brings many special moments and makes their home more complete.

“We greatly encourage anyone who has a desire to adopt to go ahead and take that first step…bring an adopted child into your family,” says Craig and Michelle.

It might be, as in Craig and Michelle’s case, God’s way of putting your family together.
