C2 News: July 2023 Update

Hey Everyone!
3, 2, 1, go!
Many of you know that we began the process to adopt Zoey and Jayden this summer. After eleven years of having legal custody, we are making things more permanent and secure for the girls by adopting them. Both parents are in agreement with this. We signed the adoption paperwork two days ago and it will be filed soon. We asked for your help with the adoption fees, and we have now raised 100% of what we projected for the adoptions. The lawyer also indicated that the adoption process will be much shorter than we first thought, and there is a big possibility that both of the adoptions will be completed by October 1st. Please pray for the earliest possible hearing. We want to express our gratitude for all of the help that you have given us; we couldn’t have done this without you!
Our time in the States is winding down quickly. Stephani & the girls will be returning to Chiang Mai on Monday, July 24th, three days from writing this. Ken will fly to join them on Monday, August 7th. He is staying two weeks longer just in case our adoption lawyer needs further information or paperwork. During those two weeks, he’ll be doing some support raising down in Ohio and visiting family there, and spending some time with old friends from Bible College and China who are in Indianapolis and Michigan.
As our time in the US draws to a close, we’d also like to give you an update on our support raising. At this time, we are nearly 85% funded and still need to raise an additional $2,000 of monthly support to return to Thailand fully funded, which will enable us to have medical insurance. We specifically need monthly support, as opposed to one-time gifts, so that we can meet that budget. We’ve been greatly encouraged by our conversations with everyone that we’ve talked with and some have indicated that they’d begin to support us monthly. If, after prayerful consideration, you’d be interested in joining our support team, the giving information is in the picture below. If you’d like to talk to us about our support needs, you can contact Stephani for the next 3 days at 260-206-8562 or Ken for the next 2 weeks at 260-418-4726.
Many Blessings,
Stephani & Ken
