With God, No Adoption Expense Is Too Great
We believe money should never be the reason a child doesn't have a family. Adoption expenses are often one of the most significant barriers for families. At Lifesong, we have the privilege of seeing God work miracles in the lives of adoptive families every day. Zachariah and Erica…
From a Church Fund to China
In February 2017, we were matched with a precious little 3-year-old boy in Harbin, China. We were full of nerves and excitement until the moment we could finally meet him. As he walked into the conference room where we waited, all of our fears and nerves were replaced…

The Bumpy, Dark Road of Adoption
Adoption was in our hearts for a long time. For Georgie the desire has been there since she was a little girl. For Wyley, it came later in our marriage when we were told we wouldn’t be able to have children. The Lord gave us three biological…
A Remarkable Story
When we began our adoption journey, we never could have anticipated the ways in which God would tell a remarkable story. He did this through His loving-kindness, beautiful generosity, caring provision, and faithful care of His people. It took 4.5 years to bring our twin four-year-olds home from Haiti.…
When Two Becomes Eight Kids (and counting!) | Family Friday
Our plan when I married my wife was to have one or two children. Lifesong recently helped us add our eighth. From the bottom of our hearts, we are so grateful God allowed us to be part of His plan in this way and to be surrounded by…
