Week of Prayer Day 5
We pray today for this process. For the hundreds of children in South Korea without families and for the thousands upon thousands of children around this world that don’t have a place to call home and a family to love and be loved by. My heart breaks that there are children that go to bed…
Week of Prayer Day 4
Today we ask selfishly for prayers for the two of us. There are days when we finally get everyone loaded up with shoes and backpacks and coats and lunches and favorite blankets and books and such and look at each other and ask “how are we going to do this with 2 more?” And we…
Week of Prayer Day 3
We ask that you pray for the three big brothers. Leighton, Caedmon, and Edric are the sweetest and busiest and cutest boys we know and feel so blessed to have the opportunity to parent and love them and watch them grow. But just as the transition for both Paxton and Coppelia coming home is going…
Week of Prayer Day 2

We will be facing all of that times two with two different adoption agencies here in the states and in South Korea. We ask that…
Week of Prayer Day 7, May 6th
Foster Family/Korea/children waiting- We are so indebted to the Kim family (Edric’s Foster family) and the love that they have poured out to Edric each and every day since they took custody of him when he was just 4 months old. Please pray for all of their hearts as they prepare and then will ultimately…
Week of Prayer Day 6, May 5th
Transition/Attachment- As mentioned in Day 5, there will be a huge time of transition and grief as the five of us work towards becoming a family. Pray for peace during that time as all of us learn and grow and struggle together. Please pray for Leighton and Caedmon and that they would be open and…
