"Religion that God our Father accepts as pure and faultless is this: to look after orphans and widows in their distress and to keep oneself from being polluted by the world." ~ James 1:27
Not flesh of my flesh
Nor bone of my bone,
But still miraculously my own.
Never forget for a single minute,
You didn't grow under my heart,
But in it.

About Us
We are the biological parents of three beautiful children: Benjamin, 9, Abigail, who would now be 6, and the tiny baby we miscarried in 2008, affectionately named Zacchaeus by his then 4 year old big brother, Ben. We lost Abby during labor in 2006 and, after a long road of stillbirth, miscarriage, and infertility, began our adoption journey in 2008. After almost three years of waiting, our sweet rainbow girl, Galina "Hope", finally came home from Russia on 11/9/11. This is the story of our "Journey to Hope!"

Natalie Faith
We were so touched and inspired by the adoption story of this little girl that we wanted to share her video on our blog. It gives you a peek into what our experience will be like when we finally bring Hope home. They brought Natalie Faith home from Russia last year and as the song says, "When love takes you home and says that you belong here, the lonliness ends and a new life begins ..."
