what gorgeous sons you have! I'm so thankful for people like you who "get it" :))
Gorgeous boys. Blessings for sure!
I have read your blog a hundred times, I don't know why it never occurred to me that you adopted all boys. I LOVE IT. I read one time that only 25% of international adoptions are boys. That of course is not because there is a lack of orphaned boys. That statistic nearly broke my heart. As if being born a certain gender some how made them more dangerous, more difficult, more complicated, and harder to love. What a lie from the enemy. These boys, that everyone is so afraid of, placed in a loving God fearing home are our future missionaries, church leaders, and most importantly family leaders. I believe the enemy would have us believe that there is no hope for the boys, because he knows how powerful they can be when being used by the Living God.
What a blessing!
Your family is inspiring.

Each one, a miracle.
Each one, a testimony.
Each one, so loved.

Why are there not more adoptions?? If I could afford the fees & get a bigger house, I'd have a dozen too.
Love you guys!
