JOSHUA for the Hopkins family — MN

Tim and Heidi have been married for over eight years and feel incredibly blessed with two amazing children.  Freddie was born to them nearly six years ago, and Valerie joined their family through adoption 18 months ago at about 2 years of age—she is now 3-1/2.   God used their struggle with infertility to open their eyes to the desperate needs of orphaned children all around the world, especially those with special needs who are less likely to be placed with families.  Their precious daughter, Valerie, has Down syndrome and has been such a blessing and a ray of sunshine in their home.  They can’t imagine their lives without her.  When Tim and Heidi were in the adoption process with Valerie, a friend told them about Reece’s Rainbow, and Heidi has made many visits to the Web site since then to pray for the precious little ones who are waiting for families.  Recently Tim and Heidi felt God stirring in their hearts to adopt again, and as they were praying and talking over what steps to take, a little face on Reece’s Rainbow grabbed their hearts.  They are joyfully committed to little Joshua, and can hardly wait to hold him in their arms and bring him home to his forever family.  Tim and Heidi are excited to see how God is going to move in their lives and in Joshua’s life.  The Hopkins invite you to join them in their adoption journey through your love, prayers, support, and giving.  Please pray for them—for Joshua as he waits for his family and for the Hopkins as they work hard to bring their son home.  Please consider giving financially to help with the many adoption expenses.  They are trusting in God to provide.  This little guy needs to come home!
