Meet the Nap Family.

Than and Sarah Nap have talked about adopting “someday” since they met 20 years ago.  The Lord has blessed them with 6 biological children ages 13, 10, 7, 5, 3 and 20 months
.  In June of last year, they saw “Lenny” on Reeces Rainbow and knew that he was their son.  They finally started the adoption process in March. The last 8 months have been a whirlwind of paperwork, waiting, learning American Sign Language (Lenny is deaf), fundraising, and waiting some more.  They are now anxiously anticipating their Travel Approval to fly to China and bring him home prayerfully in as little as 4-6 weeks.

The Horvath Family.

We are the Horvath family. 
Istvan, Anna, Hadassah, Seraphina and our coming boys Max Emmaus (Travis) and Boaz (Devan)
Istvan grew up in a Hungarian orphanage from the age of 2 until he aged out. He and Anna met while both serving in that same orphanage with a sports ministry. 
They now live in Iowa with their growing family and as so blessed to have been able to grow their family through adoption. 
God is SO good to have provided every step along the way. The Horvath family is only $15,000 away from being fully funded for their January trip to get their boys!

We would like to thank the 5/5/5 for families community for helping us with our fundraising for our adoption!! We have just completed our third and final trip to our girls' birth country and they are now home forever!!! ❤ Thank you so much for bringing orphans and families together!!!

The picture of the lock is a tradition for adopting families from Latvia... the bridge is filled with locks of love, we added ours to the hundreds of other locks that were placed on the bridge. 😊  After we put our lock on, the girls threw the keys in the water 😊 Forever a Family!!!

The Nelms Family

Tiffany started her adoption journey approximately two years ago, but it has been a lifelong dream. She traveled extensively in Latin America and fell in love with Colombia, it's music, food and people. In July 2013 a fellow adoptive mom connected Tiffany with Heartsent Adoptions. A six year old boy from Colombia caught her eye and she knew he was meant to be her son. Tiffany hopes to travel to Colombia in early 2015. Your donation will help cover the last expenses of her adoption, which will likely exceed $40,000. Tiffany will be a single parent and is adopting for the first time.


The Orta Family.


We are Raymundo, Christie, and Laura Orta and we are so excited to be adopting Evan from EE-4.  We first saw Evan's picture on RR last October and knew immediately that he was our son.  We started fundraising for the start-up agency fees in November.  In February we officially committed to Evan with the adoption agency and have been fundraising for what feel like forever (some good and some bad).  We are extremely grateful to be chosen for this wonderful opportunity in hopes it will bring us one step closer to bringing Evan to his forever family.
