| Welcome to our adoption story! In the autumn of 2001, we embarked on a journey of a lifetime that concluded 10 months later as we returned from Kazakhstan with a beautiful addtion to our family: our new son, Gabriel Timur. On our way we encountered obstacles as well as blessings and through this process learned much about ourselves, life, and the Lord who created us, our very own "adoptive Father". In the Journal Entries section (links below), you can follow our journey as it happened, and in the Pictures section, you can see the places and faces found in our story. If you are wondering why we chose to adopt or how we chose Kazakhstan, see the Frequently Asked Questions. Through this site you will discover, as we did while living the adventure, that sometimes the most difficult journeys in life bear the greatest rewards. Thank you for stopping by and we hope you enjoy your stay! |
