Meet the Kimmels

Tiffany and I have always known that part of God’s plan for our lives was adoption…a huge part.  So when we finally started the process over two years ago there was much excitement, nervousness, but no hesitation because we knew this was God’s plan.  We were a couple that wanted children and wanted them now!  Our daughter Kennedy came six months after our first anniversary. When she turned two we started the adoption process. While we had hoped to have our next two children home with us by now, we trust in God’s timing.  That’s right, our next “two.”  We are in process of adopting siblings from Ethiopia and while we are open to bringing home one child, our prayer is for siblings.  Our daughter Kennedy is now going to be five in September and she can’t wait to bring home her brother(s) and/or sister(s) or both.  The process of adoption has been a growing experience to say the least.  We definitely have learned about patience and God’s timing and how to grow as a family in the midst of all of this, but we’ve also seen how God, through is grace, opens new pathways and provides more ways for our family to achieve the calling of adopting, which has been amazing to witness. The biggest blessing is getting to see that ‘where God guides, God provides.’  We thank you for the support and prayers as we continue to walk this road.  Please do not hesitate to contact us with any questions!!
