We have completed our home study and can now adopt a child privately or through an agency. We have sent our application in to Adoption Link. You can check them out on the web at http://www.adoptionlink.org/. We are busy trying to complete our bio and scrapbook, we need to send them 20 color copies of each. We are learning what it truly means to wait on God.

"Few of us enjoy having to wait for something we want. It is human nature to desire instant gratification, and it is devine nature to do many things very slowly. Growth is always imperceptible. [But the farmer exercises long patience in waiting for his crop (james 5:7). He has done his work and is assured of the result, hence he waits quietly. He is at rest because the outcome is certian.] If we could simply remember that this is true of EVERYTHING - that God's purposes are slowly being worked out for His glory and our good - we would, like the farmer, keep faith and wait quietly." Elisabeth Elliot

We are a Christian family seeking to adopt a child soon. We are hoping to adopt a child of any race or gender, preferably 2 and under. You can help us!!! Do you know anyone facing unplanned pregnancy and considering adoption? If so, please contact us at 479-685-3768 or 515-451-1291 or via email at clintandjess@gmail.com.
We have been happily married for almost 6 years, and trying to start our family for almost 4 years. We have always wanted to adopt a child and we strongly desire to begin our family soon. We long to have a child to love. Over the last several months we began pursuing adoption. We have started our home study with a licensed social worker and are currently waiting to see where God will bring a child from.
We have a stable income and a stable home. Clint is the Large Group coordinator for the K-2 town (Kindergarten, First & Second Grade) ministry at Fellowship Bible Church, he was recently licensed as a minister as well. Jessica works part time for Loving Choices Pregnancy Center of NWA, as the site director of the Fayetteville clinic. She is also a part-time nanny for a 23 month old and his 4 month old brother.
We love kids and do a great deal of volunteering and babysitting for friends. We both feel that children are such a precious gift from God (That is why we can't wait to have one of our own). Clint has even spent several summers in the inner city working with different children's programs.
We both have stable families, Jessica's in Wisconsin, and Clint’s here in Arkansas, both of our parents have passed their 25th year anniversaries. Since Clint’s parents live in town they will be active participants on weekly basis in the lives of any child in our family. Jessica's family is also looking forward to being grandparents, she also has 4 younger sisters along with two nephews. Clint had one sister who had spina-bifida and passed away 3 years ago.
We live in a 3 bedroom, 2 bath ranch style home, built in 2007. We have two cats, one, all white with beautiful green eyes, who is 5, her name is Q-tip. And a little kitty, grey with white paws and patches, who is about 8 months old, his name is Boots. As a family we are very active, we love to spend time with friends and family, go for walks, we love watching sports and playing them. Clint is an avid golfer and Jess loves to scrapbook and do beading. Clint plays the guitar and Jess plays the flute, we enjoy lots of different music together.
