Few may know that my brother and his wife Kayla have been in the process of trying to adopt a child for over a year. They have been trying to raise money and have had to endure a process filed with piles of paper work, interviews, and the standard bureaucratic hoop jumping. Through prayer and patience they have been undoubtably anxious to find out when they would be selected to receive a child in need of adoption.
As things continued to slowly progress, they were given a few leads on potential kids and thought briefly they could be chosen to be the parents of a sixteen month old boy named Raven. As luck would have it they were eventually notified things weren’t going to work out. None the less, they continued to pray and be patient remaining calm knowing a child would eventually come.
Well, as God would have it, a few days ago they received a call that in fact the boy they thought wasn’t going to work out actually was to be their son. Bags packed and hearts racing, both Ryan and Kayla drove down to Miami to meet their new little boy.
On September 21st, 2011 conveniently also my birthday, my brother and his wife got to meet and hold their child for the first time. Talk about a birthday present!! Allow me to introduce you to the my new nephew and member of our family… Raven Weaver.
In the mean time the adoption process is quite expensive. If you’d love to support my brother Ryan and his wife Kayla, please donate here!
