 Steve and Heidi brought a precious little girl, Graceanna Catherine, into their family through adoption a few weeks ago. As you look into Graceanna's tender face - think of the courageous choices that had to be made for her adoption to happen.

A courageous birthmother who chose LIFE instead of abortion (which could've seemed "easier" at times)....a committed Christian family (Steve & Heidi) who chose to ACT on God's calling on their hearts to open their home and family to Graceanna - to call her their own!

 

the love I'm developing for this beautiful little girl. I find myself dreaming about her future and getting excited about being a part of it - Steve Manatt

 

Graceanna reminds me that as Christians, we are "pro-life", and in that same spirit, we have the opportunity and privilege to be "pro-adoption" as well, to support those birthmothers who chose life.  Tapestry Adoption/Foster Care Ministry at Irving Bible Church does this well!

Lifesong for Orphans had the joy of being an instrument in God's hands to provide an adoption grant/loan to help bring Graceanna into this family, ultimately so she can learn of her Father and be adopted into God's eternal family through Christ!

Beautiful pics of Graceanna
