Why Adopt?

One question we often get from people is why we would want to adopt, especially since we obviously can have our own biological kids. Ever since high school, God placed in Kitty’s heart the desire to adopt because she saw that neglected children can thrive given a little love and attention. She also sees that children hold a special place in the heart of Christ. Mark 9:35 says, “Whoever welcomes one of these little children in my name, welcomes me.” She wants to provide a loving home for a child who would otherwise not be loved or know love. Throughout the years, Kitty had many passions and desires; most came and gone. However, the desire to adopt stayed and lingered in her heart. She always thought that when she could, she would.  It is not a coincident that Hebron also developed the same desire. After learning of Kitty’s heart for adoption, Hebron began his own journey of searching for God’s will. Through God’s Word and radio programs such as Focus on the Family, Hebron developed the same passion. Looking back at our journey, we are convinced that God put all the pieces together and led us to this decision. We even saw how He directed our steps to adopt a child with a minor physical condition. We now have such a passion to not only adopt ourselves, but to help others through their journey and struggle with adoption, because we believe that God desires all orphans to be loved by caring parents.
