“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.
