Why Adoption

Why adoption?....... "dont you have 4 children already???? "Are you crazy?" Well, let me start by saying...."no, we're not crazy!" It has been amusing hearing the different responses from different people.

We are very content with 4 but feel God is leading us to open our home to a "little someone" who needs a home, love, and security. We have been truly blessed and are being led to share those blessings with another in need. Michael has informed me if God leads us again we will have to pass. (5 is enough).
