FAQ

Why adoption?

A couple of reasons...First, that is what God said! Next, Kala hates being pregnant, and for good reason. She is sick the whole time to the point of dehydration. Last, with every child we have, there is a 25% chance that child will have PKU. (But you are adopting a child with PKU! Hold-on, will get to that in a second)

Why international adoption and not domestic?

Once again for multiple reasons...First, that is what God said! Next, the laws protect the adoptive parents more with international adoption. I have a friend in the Dallas area that adopted a 9 month old boy from a lady who signed over all rights. Nine months later she filed with the courts to get the baby back--AND WON! It devestated my friend and his wife. After having "their" child for a little over 9 months, the courts took "their" baby away. Kala and I couldn't handle that.

Why China?

China has been running an international adoption program for a long time now. The process is fairly consistent and is not filled with the corruption that some other programs are. We researched other countrys' programs, and based on babies health, process, travel time, and cost, we decided on China.
