This was a local or a domestic adoption. We now have two children. Our first was conceived naturally (by my wife and I). The decision to adopt was originally driven by the struggle we were having to have another child. Once we started the process of adoption and meet the birth mother, our motivation began to shift towards helping a young woman that wouldn't be able to care for the life growing in her body. We've had an amazing experience (not that it was easy) and now several other couples in our community are looking into adoption (and not because they can't have children). May God bless your family. Grace & Peace, Ian Todd,

This who process has been a challenging journey that keeps bringing me back to the gospel. It has been really amazing to see how our "kids" at the college ministry have responded and they are praying with us and so excited for the addition to not just our family but the ccf family. Your blog was a huge encouragement as I got home today to look at it. Thanks so much and keep me posted on your end. michael Todd,
