Questions & Answers

1.  From where do you plan to adopt?

     The Democratic Republic of the Congo (aka "DR Congo", aka "DRC"). 

     This country was formerly known as Zaire.

2.  Why DR Congo?

      There are so many things I could say, but instead, I encourage you to read a blog post written by     
      Megan Terry, a mother whose son is from the DR Congo.  She wrote this post in 2010, just after
      bringing her son home.  To read, please click on the link below:

3.  Are you adopting a boy or a girl?

     We will most likely request a boy when the time comes.  However, we are open to sibling groups.
     So, maybe both! :)

4.  What age will the child be?

     We have indicated that we are willing to accept a referral of a child (or sibling group) between birth               
      and 7 years old.  Though we realize adopting an older child can present unique challenges, there is 
      a huge need to find families for older children, and we believe God is asking us to be willing in this
      area.  We will leave it up to Him and trust that He will work out the details.

5.  Aren't international adoptions expensive?  How will you fund the adoption?

     Yes, they are.  We certainly don't have the financial means on our own.  However, we believe

      that God will provide if this is, indeed, His plan for our family.  Grants and fundraisers will be our

      primary means of obtaining funds.
