Meet Bryan & Kim Young…
“You may be wondering why we have chosen to start our family with adoption. Well, primarily, we’ve felt since very early in our relationship that we were being called to give a family to a child without one. Our hearts break for babies and children who live in orphanages and do not know the devotion and love of a mother and father. This passion for orphans has driven us to start the adoption process and also to choose the country with the most need for parents. While it hasn’t always been the easiest choice, we know in our heart of hearts that this is the path the Lord has for us and we feel honored to be part of such a journey. Though the tragedies in this world have left children without parents it is God’s desire for people to take these children in and give them a home. We want to be part of that.”
Baby JT…
We are adopting a little boy from Ethiopia, and will be matched with a specific child in 2011, then travel to Ethiopia to bring him home (he’ll be under 12 months old)! As a family, we’ve been excitedly praying for him, and we’ve already named our son – John Todd Young!
The name John comes from John Rowe, Kim’s late grandfather who fought for our freedom in World War II & Korea. Words spoken by him have directly and indirectly formed Kim’s values and compassion for those with less. Todd is a Young family name. It was Bryan’s father’s name, Bryan’s middle name, and will soon be John’s middle name.
