"Today,we've become a family, not because we share the same genes but because we share love for one another"!Our birth mother has selflessly signed the paperwork and placed her baby girl into our care. I am flooded with gratefulness, a heavy heart for our birth mom and a deep love for a baby girl that I could not love more if I had birthed her myself.
Thank you Jesus for a birth mom that chose life, took beautiful care of herself during pregnancy and was obedient to what you have laid on her heart.
We are eternally grateful for the greatest gift we've received during our married life.

What a BEAUTIFUL family. What a miracle! It comforts me that this took place on Mama and Papa's anniversary. They wouldn't have wanted anything more than for you all to become parents. I wish I could be there to hug you all!
All my love,
Lisa :)
Michelle and Rick (aka Mommy and Daddy),
This little girl has no idea that she is one of the most blessed children in the world.
From the night I prayed over you all when you had to give little Gabriel up, I knew that God would eventually give you all "the desires of your heart." Lisa, Sophie and I could not be more happy for you all even if she were our own.
You are about to embark on one of the most rewarding and challenging things in life, and I can't wait to see how God uses you, Rick, and Hope to accomplish His purposes.
Congratulations and we can't wait to meet the princess!!
Much Love,
John, Lisa, and Sophie

Rick and Michelle,
Congratulations! The Lord knew that you were SO READY for this precious gift, and our perfect Shepherd certainly led you to the right place! What a fitting name you have given your little lamb! After hearing Rick's voice on Thursday, I could tell that his heart has totally melted with love for his baby girl, and he is so thankful to the Lord. I am so excited for you both!

Isa 45:3, "I will give you the treasures of darkness and riches from secret places, so that you may know that I, the Lord, the God of Israel, call you by your name."
Rick & Michelle,
We have prayed you through some dark times... and now God has brought forth a priceless treasure, and placed her in your arms! He even calls you by name, "Daddy Rick and Mommy Michelle!!" :)
May you be "richly" blessed with your sweet baby Hope!
Rejoicing with you,
Susan & Charlie
Rick & Michelle,
I can't begin to tell you how excited we were when we heard about your recent adoption. She is truly a blessed child to have been added to your family.
You are in our prayers that all of your needs will be met as soon as possible so you can come home.
Love, Dwight/Wanda Graupman
