Wow, wow, wow, and wow! I had no idea! You know, I’ve been immersed in the adoption world for about five years now but the Vietnam airlift is not a story I’d heard about. It’s all so intricate and incredible.

I have our trip to China to adopt our little girl documented online if anyone wants to read it: http://snippetsandsagas.blogspot.com/2009/02/our-china-adoption-trip.html

We adopted my husband’s niece, nephew & their half-sister 3 years ago. The first year we had them it was under relative caregiver and foster parent. So we’ve had them a total of 4 years.

It’s been one of the most challenging things I’ve ever done. The verse that’s carried me through is Galatians 6:9.

I was 17 and a junior in high school when the airlift occurred. My youth leader in high school adopted a baby from the airlift and that deeply touched my heart. Twenty years later in 1995, we adopted our little girl from Vietnam. It was a 20 year dream come true. She is now 15 years old. In 2000 we started a non-profit to help the orphans there and currently have about 80 placed in Christian homes. I love and share your passion. God changed the course of my life through an orphan…several times! He is amazing.

He turns 6 in a few weeks. Hard to believe it’s been over five years since we brought him home.

thank-you for blessing my life with your story! I sponsor 3 children through Compassion international and do short term mission trips in the Dominican Republic each summer. I also sponsor a child in the DR; I sponsor one through World Vision International, as well.
Be blessed,

What a beautiful story.

Adoption/foster care is something my husband and I have considered for awhile. I hope someday to make that a reality!

What a fantastic story – I always thought adoptive parents are extra special parents because they fight so hard to bring their children home.

What a lovely account of being given much, then giving much in return. I understand why this is such a special post :).

You’re making a difference in the lives of many!
