HUGE NEWS! (Hope is Blooming)

We have an Exciting Announcement! Please read all the way to the end! God is so good to allow us to witness miracles of love and hope!

We’re so grateful to be able to bless some special families who are walking in faith.

Drum roll………

As many of you know, Adoption is very close to our heart and a huge part of our mission at GIASHOPE.org The Adoption Grant Application link is open again for a Live Gia Grow Forever Foundation grant!!!!!!

By the grace of God, and because of the donations of so many incredible people, we are so thankful to be able to give out Adoption grants in honor of our Gianna’s Birthday (on January 10th).

We do this because we are believing for miracles! We do this because we know our Gianna’s light still shines.

We still remember that sacred moment when we were standing in the middle of our miracle in the hot civil affairs office in China waiting for her… our sweet sweet GiaBia…

waiting to wrap our arms around our beautiful long-awaited daughter and finally be able to bring her home.

To kiss the face that we had prayed for for so long.

We had arrived at That moment when faith became sight.

That moment is forever written and sealed on my heart.

That holy ground when Suddenly all the tears, the agonizing wait, the fears, the worry, the fundraising, the knee-bent prayers, the feeling like it may never happen at all …

the nights of losing sleep knowing your baby is 1/2 way across the world and Wanting so desperately, with every fiber of your soul, to run to your child but having to wait and wait and wait…

It all melts away as the mountain falls before your eyes and you finally wrap your arms around your treasure. It’s all worth it. All worth the glorious agonizing wait.

Though our process to Gianna was expedited due to her sick heart, I’m reminded of this truth as we again wait for the day when we are reunited with our daughter on the shores of eternity.

The long wait is agonizing but we wait under the banner of God’s promises of HOPE. Hope says the story is not done.

Our hearts are so heavy for the families who are stuck in the Covid adoption obstacle and roadblocks and agonizing over an unpredictable wait to travel to their treasure.

We just want you each to know that we see you. We ache for you.

Our family and foundation are praying for you and your child.

We are standing with you in HOPE and belief for the mountains to fall and the Red Sea to split to your child.

It’s also our hope to encourage families with a grant from Live Gia Grow Forever Foundation to assist in the unplanned and unexpected “additional” expenses in their international adoption journey due to this pandemic.

That’s where we need your help!

If you are feeling led, as you read these words, will you consider making a final tax deductible donation for 2021 to help us grow HOPE? Your gift will help us to bless others.

You will be partnering with us to fund an adoption grant to help bring children home to their families.

There is such a need and we know God calls us all the join together in this fight for life and love and hope. Let’s all be a part of someone’s Miracle of HOPE and a hug of encouragement as they push forward in faith to their beloved child!
