Because of Isaac: Grant and Elizabeth


It was in 2010 that an idea was berthed in my heart. How could we help other couples experience the miracle of adoption like we had? We could raise money. We could start an organization named after our adopted son, Isaac.

We knew who we wanted the first couple to be. John's older sister Elizabeth and her husband Grant who had been married for nearly as long as we had with no children in their home. So we asked them. They said yes. And it began.

It's been three years and that vision has run its first full circle. Grant and Elizabeth drove home last night with twin boys: Ethan and Eli. Not just one little baby but two!

Thank you to all of you who helped us raise the $22,000 it took to bring these boys into their family forever. Thank you to the birthmother who picked Grant and Elizabeth to parent these two miracles.

Praise the Lord!
