Growing Our Family


To All Our Family & Friends,

We are moving forward with our next adoption!  Our original hopes were to adopt within our city through our Social Services department, but God has closed that door. We have now decided to go through Lifetime Adoption Center (again!) to bring our baby home.  

After two years of waiting on God's perfect timing, we are more than ready to fill our arms with more children and brothers/sisters for Colin.  We rest fully in the fact that God knows who our children are and how they will come to be ours. We know God hasn't said, "Oh yeah, Dustin and Tami (with a smack to the forehead)!  OK, where's that baby?"  :)

The beautiful story of how God will bring this baby to us is just beginning and we need your help.  We are humbling asking for your support!  The cost will be above $20,000 which is why we are coming to you with this request.  Our desire is to have as many kids as the Lord sees fit to bless us with and adoption happens to be the only mechanism for this to happen.  The cost of adoption is great and we are unable to do it alone.  God amazingly provided all that we needed 5 years ago to bring Colin home and we trust that He will do it again in His timing.

Will you also please pray for the birthfamily?  Pray that God would graciously give them a peace and a confidence in their decision to lovingly give their baby a better life (with us). Please pray for wisdom and patience for everything we'll face along the way.  Pray for spiritual and physical protection of the birthmom and that she might come to know the Lord, if she doesn't already.

Any gracious donations can be made here on this blog via our Paypal "Donate" button, on our facebook page via our Fundrazr "Give" button, or directly to us.  You can reach us through email at sweetdreams.tami@gmail.com.

We deeply thank you for your love, support, care and prayers.  God has blessed us with amazing friends and family.  Thank you for being a special part of our life.

Dustin & Tami & Colin

  1. Hi I just came across your blog. One thing I have become aware of recently is that the Department if Social Services do help with adoptions. Maybe that is something that you could check into to help with the cost. Isn't it crazy how much they charge for adoptions? They want to find the kids in adoption a home for them but they charge so much money. It is amazing and ridiculous how much they charge. Anyway I am sorry that I cannot help financially for I am on disability. I too have thought about going the way of adoption for different reasons.
    God Bless you on your journey.
