When did you first hear God's call to adopt?
We have wanted to adopt from the beginning of our marriage. God began tugging on each of our hearts during our time spent in the Philippines volunteering at orphanages before we had kids. After having our third biological child, God was very clear to us that now is the time to adopt a child.

What is your view on adoption and orphan care?
God’s Word is clear about taking care of orphans.(James 1:27) It is our job as Believers. We do not feel that everyone is called to adopt a child, but every Believer should be involved in taking care of orphans in some way. But even more so, we love God’s heart for adoption. Both of us have been adopted into the Kingdom of God as children/heirs of God. Adoption is such a beautiful picture of the heart of God. He takes us in as needy, broken, wounded orphans and He calls us His own.
