“My friends, adoption is redemption. It’s costly, exhausting, expensive, and outrageous. Buying back lives costs so much. When God set out to redeem us, it killed Him.” - Derek Loux

STRICKLAND Party of 5!!!!!


We are so humbled to announce that God has called our family to international adoption. By God's grace and in His perfect timing, we will be adopting a little boy from India. Although we are in the early stages of this process, we would ask you to to pray for us during this long and difficult journey. We are believing that every step we take will lead us to the little boy that God has picked specifically for us.  We will be waiting for the day that we are able to bring him home!

We are creating this blog to keep everyone up-to-date with where we are in our journey.  We know that there will be moments of rejoicing as we share the good news that we receive.   Yet we also know that there will be moments that we share the difficulties of adoption - when things don't work out like we thought they would. And although every card that we are dealt in this journey might not always seem good or fair to us at the time, we pray that we would recognize that God is the Sovereign dealer of every card, therefore, we choose to trust Him!

As we keep up with this blog, it is our desire to be honest and transparent as we share the highs and lows of international adoption. As we take each step in this journey, it is our prayer that God will use our story to call others to follow the story that He has written for them.  We ask that you would pray for our family as we begin this journey of redemption!  #ADOPTION IS REDEMPTION
