Jacob - Our Second Adoption Journey

Welcome to our adoption blog as we invite you to follow along and partner with us in prayer on our adoption journey to bring our son Jacob home from China. We don't know who he is yet, but we know the Lord has already chosen him for us! We can't wait to meet the child which God has picked out for us!

For us this is more than just about expanding our family. This is also a ministry that we feel called to do. It is an oportunity for us to introduce another child to Christ. And, we are commanded in the scriptures to care for the orphans. There are currently over 200 million orphans in the world. Almost half of those are in China alone. Many of these children will never have parents. Many will be turned out on the streets to fend for themselves once they reach a particular age. Many more who have "special needs" will live out their lives in an institution.

God has placed upon our hearts to do our own small part to not only provide a home and family for an orphan, but to introduce them to God's grace and an opportunity for a "second adoption" into His family as well. We hope that you will remember us in your prayers as we continue on our Journey to bring Jacob home.

In Christ's Love,
Ken, Trish, & Ellie

Almost Time to Travel.....

Where has the time gone? We can't believe our time to go get Jacob has arrived! We praise God for all of His merciful provisions and for working out all the details to make this possible! Below is our Itinerary while we are in China. Clicking on it will enlarge it so that it is more readable. Thanks to all our friends and family for your prayers and words of encouragement! Lord willing we will see everyone again soon with a new addition to our family!

Blessings,
Ken, Trish, Ellie, and Jacob
