What better cause is there than helping a child that was once an orphan be adopted into a loving, Jesus-following, forever family?

Meet the Bandimeres, who are in the process of adopting a little girl from India…



Hello from the Bandimere family (David, Sarah, Adam, Yana, Lily, Jadon and Grace). We are excited to be adding to our family once again! We are in the process of adopting a little girl from India. She is 10 years old and in need of surgery in the U.S. When she is finally home with us we will have three 11 year olds in our house!! We wish that we could post her photo, because she is absolutely precious and we love her with all of our hearts!

Our journey to R. started a few years ago, while we were adopting our daughter Grace, from China. Sarah had a dream about a curly-haired little girl who would absolutely change our lives. In 2010, our daughter, Lily, and Sarah went to India to volunteer at an orphanage there. Our hearts were broken for the people of India. Soon after returning home, we started the adoption process for our sweet daughter. India is a very difficult country in terms of adoption, but the need is great. We’ve encountered some bumps along the way, but with India’s new adoption procedures now in place, we’ve seen some progress in the past few weeks. We are believing that God will bring home our precious girl very soon!

If you’d like to follow our adoption journey, you can find us here.

Meet the Barlows, who are in the process of adopting a little girl with Downs Syndrome from Bulgaria…



Bobby and I have been married for 7 years and have one daughter, Allison who is three years old. I am not able to have any more children and thought our family was done until we came across information about special needs adoption.

We searched and prayed for a long time and then fell in love with Heaven. Heaven is a two year old girl in Bulgaria with Down Syndrome. We have committed to bringing her home and our dossier has been submitted!



The next step is our first trip to meet Heaven. After the initial trip, our lawyer goes to court for us and we will get to bring our daughter home 3 – 5 months later. It is a slow and expensive process but worth it to bring our little Heaven home.

You can follow our journey here.

Meet the Peacock Family, who is in the process of adopting a little girl from China…



Our Story:

We are a family of 5 with a desire to become a family of 6. We have 3 boys and want a daughter. We felt God’s call to adopt a little girl from China in April 2011. We have long desired to do something “more” for a child without a mommy or daddy. After praying and speaking with our boys about this desire, they were overjoyed to know we would be adopting a little girl to be their sister. Our best friends adopted a little girl from China July of 2010. She stole our heart! We are so grateful to have this opportunity and know that God will provide all our needs to complete this adoption. We are going to name her “Khloe” which means “blooming” and the seed that God has planted in our hearts will one day bloom in our home! Thank you God for our daughter, You know her and You will protect and keep her until she is with her forever family!

Eric, Amy, John Michael, Brayden, and Nathan Peacock

In an effort to help others who are doing just this, we have started an fundraising program for adopting families. We are excited to introduce you to some of the families who are participating in our program, and we will continue to post about other featured families in the weeks and months to come.

Meet the Gray family – now in the process of adopting a 1 year old boy from China…


Hi, we are the Gray family from Birmingham, Alabama! We are a family that has a heart for orphans but even more a heart for God. We started this journey of adoption completely dependent on the Lord to lead, guide, and provide for us. He has opened doors, changed hearts, and led us to our precious son when we least expected it.

We are so thankful for Love Without Boundaries and An Orphan’s Wish for giving much love and care to our son as he waits for us to arrive! Some of you may know him as “Xavier.” We currently have PA and hope to have our home study finished up by the end of the year.

This will be the only fundraiser we plan to do. We are trusting in the Lord to provide the rest and make His name great in the process!

We would love to have your prayers and support! To learn more about us or to find our family code visit us at A Journey to My Son!

Meet the Browns, a family in the process of adopting a little boy from Ghana…



Our family is adopting a little 4 year old boy from Ghana. His name is Noah! We are very excited that God would chose to add to our family through adoption again. We adopted twin daughters in 2010, which makes us a little nervous about the funds required for another adoption. But we are confident that our God is faithful and provides. Thank you for your support!
