NC – Reece's Rainbow

VANN & MASON & EVAN for the Acquaire family — NC

High school sweethearts, Matthew and Tanya knew early on in their relationship that one day when they started a family they wanted to adopt in addition to having biological children. They had no idea that they would face many years of secondary infertility following the birth of their two daughters, suffering multiple miscarriages, including a devastating loss at 16 weeks. They were caught in an awful cycle of hope and loss for over 10 years before discovering embryo adoption with their youngest.

It was then they learned the reason for their infertility struggles, a clotting disorder that only affects pregnancy and requires blood thinners to carry to term. Armed with this knowledge, they became pregnant with their youngest; a pregnancy that required over 700 injections of blood thinning medication, and Tanya still suffered a massive clot that caused an abruption at 35 weeks. Thankfully, their son was delivered safely, but they knew that carrying future children would be too risky.

As they watched their youngest grow, they longed for more children, and revisited their initial dreams of adoption. It was then they knew this was the path their family was meant to take and they knew in their hearts that they wanted to adopt a child with special needs. Within weeks of deciding to proceed, they fell in love with not one but three amazing little boys from Bulgaria, each with significant special needs who’ve waited far too long for a family to call their own.

International adoption is a lengthy and expensive undertaking, particularly when multiplied by three little ones with significant special needs. All three boys will need surgical intervention upon arriving home and the Acquaire Family is working as fast as they can to bring their new sons home so they can receive the medical care and love they are so deserving of. They are so incredibly grateful and honored to have you accompany them on this incredibly journey as they grow their family once more.

A CHILD for the Marsh Family — NC

Taylor and Celia Marsh have embarked on a journey to bring their son home from Eastern Europe! They currently have 3 precious boys who are so excited to welcome another brother into the family. The Lord began to speak to them during the pandemic in regards to adoption, and led them through dreams and visions to a little boy who is soon to be their son. They have watched God’s affirmations unfold, as they have stepped out in faith. They are confident the Lord has big plans for this little guy!

In 2017, Celia came to know Christ from Atheism. It was an abrupt awakening in their lives and marriage and God continues to do a work in their hearts. It was a year or so later that they began to really feel called into fostering/adopting. While reading the book of James, the conviction remained: “Pure and undefiled religion before God the Father is this: to look after orphans and widows in their distress and to keep oneself unstained from the world.” This scripture resonated deep within their hearts, and ignited a calling.

As they continue to step out in faith, they are so excited to open their hearts and home to another child. Won’t you come alongside them to bring their son home? You can help by donating to their adoption. Thank you so much for your prayers and support!
