Hey guys! Long story short my mother in law recently gained custody of my four neices and nephews due to the fact that their parents were arrested for the manufacture of methamphetamine. This is great news because we have known about it for some time but had no proof until now. The mother has even had child services called on her before and failed drug tests and she still got the back. The children lived in an unlivable, filthy home no clean clothes, lights, water, or food because their good for nothing's parents were selling their food stamps for drug money. There is so much more I could go in to detail about but I think the point has been made. Now they are safe and sound though with parents in jail and far away from them. Their grandmother has full custody of them. The children are happy as can be in just a few days of being in a non chaotic stable environment. God has worked some real miracles in the past few days for the kids. Our prayers have been answered and an incredible weight lifted. Any prayers would be greatly appreciated. The kids are Dacion 5 years, Destiny 4 years, Dakota 2 years, Daven 6 weeks. My wife and I are seeking to adopt the two oldest as of now so ill keep everyone posted on the progress! The best part is the oldest one has already asked me to take him hunting! We wanted all of them but we have no claim to the other two as they have different fathers unrelated to us. It is crazy to my wife and I to think that in a few months might suddenly have children to care for because we are only 25 and been married for a year but God has put this on both our hearts and it seems to be the path he has chosen for us. Please keep us in your prayers as we make a better life for these children. Thanks-Tristan

The kids are truly fortunate to have their grandmother and you folks to turn to in such a time. Praying for guidance and hope for all involved, on both sides of the bars.

Thanks Ben and Denny for the prayers and well wishes! It means a lot. We reached out today to our family and friends to help get things for the kids especially for the baby and the response has been overwhelming. My wife and I have got messages from and gifts for the kids from people we have never even met. People have sent us clothes, toys, bedding, and most importantly food, diapers, etc. for the baby. God is good. Thanks again guys.

You must make God smile...all of you! Life will change very fast with just a year of marriage under your belt, but God doesn't call the equipped, he equips the called.
You stand tall when on your knees and I'm sure you would look down on Goliath at this moment in God's eyes!
Prayers for insight, patience, strength of your convictions and unfettered passage thru the adoption process.
Keep the Son in your eyes!
