I will have to say that I have met some amazing people through Adoption, and this family is no different. Tiffany and I became friends through Facebook and have chatted hours on the phone and have an amazing connection. They adopted their first child from Taiwan and have started the journey to their second child that they hope to adopt from the same orphanage as their son.
You can read all about their journeys here. But I will give the short rundown.
Richard was a preacher at a church in California and Tiffany was a school teacher. Several things happened that led them to have the opportunity to move to Kosovo for 6 months where they did mission work. Tiffany helped set up a school there. They returned back to the states after living abroad for 6 months and moved back to their home state of Missouri. They moved back in December and Richard has been actively looking for a full time job all while doing odd jobs to pay the bills. Tiffany was unable to find a teaching job during the middle of the school year, but does have some prospects for this next fall. They have all this uncertainty in this world we live in day to day but yet they follow God's call to proceed with their second adoption and have FAITH that HE will PROVIDE!!!!! So many wait for the funds to be there before they ever start the process. If we all did that then A LOT of orphans would never make it home.
All this said, Richard and Tiffany are starting an Adoption Auction tonight at midnight!!! I cannot wait to see all the goodies they are going to have. Start your Mother's Day shopping a little early and help an orphan while doing so. You will see lots of items up for auction that have been donated by Adoptive Families. Add their button to your blog and help spread the word...and get to bidding!!
