Adopting Little Evan!

James and I have been praying for over a month now about adopting.  Not just adopting in general, but there is a little boy on the Reece's Rainbow that we have fallen in love with!

Meet Evan:

He is 2 and a half years old with Down Syndrome and lives in a Ukraine orphanage.  He is absolutely going to be apart of our family- and there is no question about it!

Tomorrow I am sending off the agreement form to the adoption agency so we can make an official committment to Evan.  Very shortly on the Reece's Rainbow website he will be "matched" with us and you will get to read a bio about our family!

Our social worker for the home study is this Saturday, so we are in the beginning stages of that. 

Just an FYI- if little Evan doesn't find a "Forever Family" by the time he turns 4- he will be sent to an institution because he has Down syndrome.  Most children don't make it past 2 years once they are placed there.  So we are truly saving Evan's life! 

We will keep everyone posted on our adoption journey!  Keep us in your prayers- we have a lot of money to raise to bring him home!   Donate here: http://reecesrainbow.org/evan-10

  1. I'm so excited to finally get to your blog. I've been Evan's prayer warrior now for quite some time. It's so exciting to see he has a forever family. I'll definitely be following you along this journey.
