We are the Schindler Family! We are a family of four in Oregon. Anthony is (39), Melissa is (36), Adalyn is (13), and Maverick is (9).
Adoption has always been on our hearts since Anthony himself is adopted as well as my sister. Anthony and I both struggle with secondary infertility. We tried for a few years to have a baby but then God! God started giving us all dreams of these same children. Even our kids were dreaming of these sweet babies that looked nothing like us. So we continued to pray and call out to God! At that point we knew exactly what God was calling us to do. This was his plan all along. And we cannot wait to love this sweet baby or babies endlessly as well as their birth momma, dad, and family.
We have done everything we can to raise funds for our adoption. We have held cash buckets out and shared our story, we have passed out flyers and cards to our go fund me account, had a puzzle piece fundraiser, and even sold items we did not need. Our profile will be in the hands of birth mommas any day now. We are trusting God to provide for our family so we may adopt and do his will.
We still need about $15,000. We are working with Christian Adoption Consultants. Please be praying for the birth momma and sweet baby or babies to have amazing health, peace, comfort, and Christ to send an outpouring of his love on her. The cost of adoption is high, but the journey to having our precious baby is priceless! And we know God will provide. Thank you to ABBA fund for all you do in helping make our adoption dreams come true!
Would you also be praying for our family as we welcome a new life or lives into our hearts and family forever!
Ephesians 1:4 says “In love he predestined us for adoption as sons through Jesus Christ.” This is an amazing reminder that just as we are adopted into the Kingdom of God. We are so blessed to get to adopt this precious life or lives into our family.
A huge thank you to each of you! God bless you!
