Our Story...

Our story began nearly 12 years ago when Ben and I met in Pascagoula, MS. Ben was a Pastor, and I was on an internship with Youth For Christ completing part of my internship requirements for post graduate school. Ben and I married at the end of that summer. Ben has worked in a Pastor/Leadership Role for over 16 years. He has worked with many churches and the community helping and encouraging others while assisting them in meeting their physical, emotional, and spiritual needs. In the past year and a half, Ben has resigned and returned back to school to complete his degree at this time pursuing a degree in Family & Marriage Therapy. I have been a Counselor for over ten years and am currently working at our local hospital as a Licensed Professional Counselor. We both believe God is using our lives on a daily basis to encounter others and give them hope.

Adoption has been part of my heart since a young age when my cousin brought home his daughter from Romania. I remember my Aunt and Uncle doting over their new grandchild. It was something beautiful. I hold that memory in my heart today. After dealing with infertility for over 5 years and being moved by God's Word, Ben and I made a life altering decision to adopt in 2006. We brought home a sibling group of three beautiful children from Colombia, South America in June 2007. Our life has been forever changed.

It's been nearly three years that we've been on this second journey to adopt a fourth child. Please join us on this adventure... Dios te Bendiga!
