Meet The Barnett Family

David and Stephanie Barnett have been married since 1997.  In 2002, they adopted a beautiful baby boy at birth whom they named Copeland Shane.  A few years later, Stephanie felt the Lord leading them to adopt a child with Down syndrome so they began to pray that God would open the doors for that to happen.  Three years later, in 2008, God orchestrated the adoption of a newborn baby with Ds whom they named Silas Eli.  Silas immediately rocked David’s, Stephanie’s, and Copeland’s world.  David and Stephanie both knew that the Lord would eventually end up leading them to adopt more children with Ds so they began to pray about it.  

In late 2010, the Barnett’s were led to Reece’s Rainbow.  After much prayer, the Lord opened the doors for them to commit to three orphans with Down syndrome from Ukraine with the help of Reece’s Rainbow.  In October 2011, David and Stephanie landed on US soil with their newly adopted children.  Teague Josiah (“Igor” on RR), Maclayne Faith (“Leeza” on RR), and Trenton (“Trenton” on RR) are absolutely thriving in their forever family.  After months of prayer and earnest discussion with each other and Copeland, the Barnett’s have once again answered the call to adopt three orphans with Down syndrome.  This time, they have committed to Greta, Felix, and Romeo.  Their adoption dossier has been submitted to the children’s country and the Barnett’s are anxiously awaiting travel dates.
