(Samantha must be adopted by this date)
Our family sent in a "letter of intent to adopt" for these two beauties last Thursday.
So-- I have been asked to share a little more about our family...
We have been blessed with 6 other children.
Our first blessings were Karli and Chelsea
who came to us in 1988 and 1991, respectively.
Karli is now married and living in Florida while she finishes her degree.
Chelsea is also in Florida attending the Great Commission Bible institute.
We are so proud of the way our girls have followed the Lord in their lives.
In 2004 we started thepaperwork process...which has now gone on for over 5 years (ha ha ha)
We adopted Cassie Rose-Ling from ShangRao, JiangXi at 2o months old in 2005
IN 2006, we adopted Jonathan Levi from KunMing Yunnan at 2.5 yrs old
In 2007, we adopted Joseph Robert from YiChang, HuBei at 26 months
in 2009, we adopted Brighton Faith from YanAn, ShAAnxi at 4.5 yrs old.
All of our kids have some type of special need and we feel God has called us to this.
We are blessed to be near excellent hospitals and doctors.
My husband is the Pastor of an independent Christian Church
and I am a stay at home mom.
We are the Rumbaugh family....
We are the Rumbaugh family....
Blessed to have been able to help bring Hope and Joy to your family!!

ReplyDeletePiper looks JUST like a little girl I saw on our agency's list a while back, prayed about, spoke to my husband about, and have been praying for her a momma and daddy for a long time now. Was her name Josie? If so, she IS the little girl I have been praying for.
God is SO good isn't He!?. God bless you in your journey. We, too, are fundraising to go get our little girl from China.
God Bless you and your beautiful family!
ReplyDeleteSo happy to hear they are ready for forever familys.
