Friends and Family-

A year and a half ago, God set us out on a journey as husband and wife. During that time, we have grown to love one another and Christ more every day. Today, we would like to include you on our next journey… our journey to adopt a child from India.

God placed the call of adoption on our hearts several years ago when we were dating. Since we have been married, He has brought adoption up several times and several times we have pushed it aside for our own plans. We initially expected to have children of our own and adoption was not at the forefront of our minds at all. God has ever so boldly convinced us that now is the time to take action on this burden He has placed on our hearts… and we are truly excited!!

The verse that has spoken to us is Ephesians 1: 5-6; “Having predestined us to adoption as sons by Jesus Christ to Himself, according to the good pleasure of His will, to the praise of the glory of His grace, by which He made us accepted in the Beloved.” As Christians we are called to support adoption, because we ourselves are adopted through Christ. So, we have followed God’s lead and will for our lives and have decided to adopt our first child.

We are in the initial stages of our adoption journey. At this time, we have chosen an adoption agency and are saving money to begin the homestudy process. The process of adoption requires that we step out on faith and be stretched in ways that are out of our comfort zone. We are so thankful that we have the means to provide for a child’s daily needs, but the cost of adoption is substantial. Would you be willing to enter into this journey with us? Whether you feel led to help us financially or through your prayers and encouragement, it all means the world to us!

We've started a fundraiser on Pure Charity to raise the funding that we need to make our adoption a success. We have a donations goal of $28,000 that will go towards the cost of the adoption. Every donation is important and will help make this adoption a success. Would you kindly consider making a donation? Also, we would appreciate your willingness to share this with others who may want to participate. The best thing about using this fundraising platform is that all of the donations are tax deductible!

The decision to reach out to you all has been one of much prayer and thought. Honestly, this may be the hardest thing that God has ever asked us to do. We have struggled with the thought of asking you to support us. But, we also know that God uses his people for his purposes. We would be honored to know that you helped us bring our child home and knowing that this one child will have the opportunity of growing up in a Christian home. We are humbly on our knees before God, knowing that He will do great things through our faith in Him. Thank you so much for your prayers and your support. No words could ever express our gratitude for your love for our family.

Blessings,

Peco & Sam
