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


Our Adoption Fundraising Store

If you feel led to help us monetarily complete our "Journey" to bring Jacob home from China there are a couple of ways you can do so. As you can tell we are selling adoption t-shirts to help our cause. You can order and pay for them through PayPal by simply selecting the style and size you want and clicking the PayPal "Buy Now" button. This will take you to PayPal where you fill out the requested information. For those of you who are out of town we can ship them to you, but unfortunately we have to add $5.00 to cover shipping costs.
If you would simply like to donate some amount you can do that as well by clicking on the PayPal "Donate" button and following the instructions on the "PayPal" site.

Whatever you feel led in your heart to do we greatly appreciate it, and we know Jacob will too once he is old enough to understand! We are keeping a list of all those who have helped us so that we can thank God for each and every one by name in our prayers, and so that Jacob will be able to do the same.

May God Bless All of Our Partners in Jacob's adoption,
Ken, Trish, & Ellie
