Favorite Bible Verse: Philippians 4:13 - "I can do all things through Christ who strengthens me."
Favorite Adoption Story: There was a waiting child in the Philippines, Michael, who was so sweet and kind. He was 15 and loved to play basketball, play piano, and was really smart. We met him in person on a trip to the Philippines and he shared that he just wanted to be part of a family and would love to have siblings. In the US there was an older couple who reached out about Michael and shared their story with us. They had 4 kids already that were grown and out of the house, but always came home each week for family dinners. They were talking one day and the father turned to the mother while looking at their basketball hoop in their yard and said that he wanted to have another child and hopes one day he could play basketball with them. The very next day, they saw Michael's video where he states he was excited to play basketball with his Dad one day. From that moment they knew he was meant to be in their family! They decided to apply for him and were accepted. Since he has been home, they have had many sibling and family dinners and play basketball together often.
