LILIANA, WILL, BUTLER & PAM for the Brown family — NC

UPDATE!  The Brown family will also be bringing home Will, Butler, and Pam

God has told them to move again. Jenny and Steven have been married for 15 years.  Never did they dream that their home would be filled with children.  Steven always knew he wanted to adopt. Jenny felt the same way and spoke about it even when they were dating.  After having 2 biological children , they became foster to adopt parents.  They have to date adopted 15 children,  9 wonderful children from the US fostercare system and 6 special needs children from Ukraine.  Those 6 children were featured on Reeces Rainbow. They could not ignore the loud call. Now they realize  “It was as if God  knew and made our children just for us, and God told us to not be afraid go and get them”, Nicholas, Oksana , and Noah have Down syndrome and arrived to the US in 2009.  Oksana and Nicholas had open heart surgery one week apart once they arrived to the USA. Nicholas and Noah were unable to walk despite Noah being 4.5 years old because they had been bedridden. They now can walk! Praise  only the Lord!  Benjamin also has Down Syndrome,  Ellia (at that time felt to be dwafism, now diagnosed as  extreme short stature/weight due to malnutrition and FAS) and Ian (born with encephlocele  and who will receive his 4th facial reconstruction) arrived in 2010.   “Our children are beautiful and perfect the way God made them.” Steven and Jenny have completely devoted their lives to these children and their needs. They are not new to adoption but they feel that this is their toughest mission ever. The children they are adopting are literally bones and starving, bedridden for over 10 years!   They request that you pray that these children hold and for God to keep the path clear as they bring them here to the USA, where they will get the medical attention they need immediately.  Jenny is an ICU nurse and has worked in the pediatric ICU for many years. She now works in the burn unit. Steven is a stay at home dad and farmer to their 20 acre farm.
