About Us
- Wendi and Benjamin Wood
- Benjamin & I began an exciting journey of adoption with Children's Hope International on August 31, 2006. We brought our children home from Colombia, South America on June 19, 2007. Thank you for checking in and following our journey. We have been so blessed by the many people God has networked us with during this journey. We know our story is bigger than the picture we see. God bless!
