Update - Families in Process

Each week we will be posting an update on the families in the foster care/adoption process that are part of the adoption ministry. If you have updated that you would like included, please email us so we can include you!

1. Vern and Diane Power have completed all the requirements with the county to be placed with a foster child (with the intent to adopt). They are now waiting for a match. Please pray for patience as the wait can be one of the hardest parts of the adoption process.

2. David and Hollie Shorts (planning to adopt through the foster care system) have completed their PRIDE classes through the county and are now in the process of preparing their house for their home inspection. Pray that God would ready their hearts (all 4 of them) for what he has planned for their family.

3. Rebecca Stark is currently in the process of adopting from the foster care system. Pray for patience and perseverance as she and her son prepare their home and complete all the necessary paperwork so they can be placed with a child.

4. Kevin and Leslie Crosby have completed and sent their application to officially start the process of becoming emergency placement foster care providers for children in our county. Pray that they would trust in the Lord to prepare and equip them to love the precious children that will be brought into their home.

5. Time and Sherry Page are beginning the process of adopting John. Due to a court order, John still has two visitations a week which can be very taxing on the family. Pray for strength and perseverance as they continue the journey of adding John to their family forever.

6. Mike and Colleen Selling went to court in June and finalized Jesse's adoption!!! Praise the Lord!

7. Wade and Tammy Russu are attending an orientation for foster adoption in August. Pray for their family as they seek to follow where God is leading their family and for discernment to see if adoption is part of that plan.

8. Mike and Tammy Melton are in the process of adopting their girls Marti and Analiese. Pray for wisdom and perseverance, and that they would be able to get all the needed support for their girls in place before the adoption is finalized.

9. Jarome and Shauna Jacob are planning to attend an orientation this fall to find out more about becoming emergency or respite foster care providers. Pray for guidance as they seek the Lord about serving in this way.

WOW!! Isn't God amazing! The best part is that there are more out there whose hearts are being tugged towards adoption and foster care. Keep praying!!
