Three Little Boys

Approximately 48 hours ago we learned about three little boys that need a family. And they need a family this week. The boys are ages 5, 4, and 3 years old. When we found out about these boys we prayed and talked to our children. We told them this was going to be hard. We asked them if they wanted these boys to come live with us and be their brothers. We asked every possible way for them to say "no." None of them did.

I then began communicating with the agency, letting them know that, though we have a large family, we are willing to welcome these boys into our home. I wasn't expecting much. But then the agency replied and the communication started happening and things seemed to be picking up steam. Then the question: "Do you have the $30,000 to adopt these three boys?" I gulped. I may live in California Gold Country, but I certainly don't have a gold mine in my backyard.

The reality is that these boys need a home. We have a home. The agency is the gatekeeper and is asking for $30,000 from us so that we can become their parents and give them a home. This is not an official match. But if it does become official, the agency has expressed a desire to make the placement THIS WEEK. If it does become an official match, we will need money for airfare, lawyer fees, agency fees, government fees, and the list goes on and on.

We know that where God leads, God provides. And if He is leading these three little boys to our family, then He will provide the $30,000 in the next two days. If you would like to give towards this you can click the donate button below or on the sidebar. I've seen God do many miracles for us and for others. I'm excited to see what miracles He has in store for these three little boys .

PS. If this match does not take place, all funds received will go toward our next adoption.

PPS. As usual, my wife says it much better than I can.
