Answered Prayer.

THANK YOU, THANK YOU for praying this past week! God has answered our prayers in a mighty way. 

The Haitian Children's Judge signed our documents!!!  

Praise Jesus!  

This very moment, our dossier is sitting at the IBESR, waiting for them to attach our dossier to the boys file and issue us, the 'official referral.' This is the last step to receiving the referral. Once we have the referral, Clayton and I leave for Haiti, so we can go meet our 3 little men!

When I (Kim) read the email this morning from our Haiti Director, letting us know that the Judge had signed our documents, I started to cry. I was in my car, stopped at a stop sign in our neighborhood when I got the email. I could not stop the tears.  There is much, much more to this Judge process than what we are allowed to share and the details of this process made me cry. Tears of joy, tears of sadness for all that our boys have been through, but mostly, tears of joy, that God has heard our prayers and the prayers of so many of you, praying for our adoption. 

This week, please pray specifically for the IBESR to match our dossier to the boys file and issue our family the formal referral! As I said last week, this process can take months and months, but God has proven yet again, that He is on the Throne and has granted us a major milestone, in only 1 weeks time. 1 week! Only God!  

Our adoption agency (America World Adoption) as well as the boys orphanage (Chances for Children) are pushing very, very hard for the IBESR to issue the formal referral.  

Your prayers matter, every single prayer matters and is so appreciated. We are so grateful for every single person praying for our boys, our adopting process and our family as we wait. Do not stop praying. 

We would be honored if you would donate towards our matching adoption grant from Lifesong For Orphans, courtesy of The Karis Fund! Every single dollar donated is greatly appreciated and gets us closer and closer to our #littlemenmeyer. We still need $2,120 in order to receive the $5,000 matching adoption grant. We are applying for additional adoption grants, as we still have a long way to go financially, before we can bring our boys home.

January- A month of waiting...

We wanted to say, THANK YOU, THANK YOU, to those who have been donating and sharing our adoption journey on social media. We are so appreciative when you share our story!

Currently, our dossier is before a Haitian Children's Judge. The Judge needs to sign our dossier, so that it can go back to the IBESR, for formal matching, which leads to the formal referral being issued for our #littlemenmeyer. Once we get this referral, Clayton and I will immediately travel to Haiti to meet our boys.

Here is how you can pray specifically for us this week. PLEASE  pray that God would speed this process along. This process alone, could take months and months to be completed. Please join us in praying that our dossier would be expedited and a sense of urgency would be felt by every single person that is involved in bringing our adoption to completion.

One of my (Kim) all-time favorite songs is: Elevation Worship: Unstoppable God

"Nothing shall be impossible, Your Kingdom reigns unstoppable, 

We'll shout your praise forever more. Jesus our God, Unstoppable!"

For the last 2 years, we have been committed and working hard towards bringing our adoption to completion and now, we are even more committed to bringing our 3 boys home!  I (Kim) would feel such discouragement each time we were delayed. So.Many.Many.Delays. So many tears and such frustration with each delay.

Now, looking back, we can see why God put those delays in our adoption journey. Had we not been delayed, we would not have been at the perfect spot, at the perfect time, to notice our boys photo and jump at the chance to adopt them. The boys situation was a little complicated, but because of all our delays, we were exactly where we needed to be. Only God!! Only God could have orchestrated the timing of our family with the timing of connecting with our boys. 

Never forget, nothing is ever impossible or too hard for our God. Seek Him with all your heart.

We would be honored if you would connect with us:

The Beginning of #LITTLEMENMEYER

We are Clayton and Kim Meyer from Edmond, Oklahoma and our family is 2 years into a journey of adopting 3 Haitian brothers, our 'Little Men Meyer.' Our boys are 15,12 & 10. God has given us a passion to offer love and hope to the lost and forgotten of the world. Please consider joining us in this long and difficult journey to bring these three brothers home together.

Journey Began

Over the last 3 years we have had 5 painful miscarriages in between God blessing us with 2 miracle babies. While dating 15 years ago, we both shared that we had a passion to adopt a child from a 3rd world country. After the miscarriages, we knew God was leading us to start the adoption process.

Our adoption journey began in December of 2013, believing that God wanted us to adopt a boy, under the age of 3, from Haiti.  In June 2015, our Haiti Director posted in our private Facebook group a picture of 2 adorable boys who were 10 and 12 years old. The boys had been on a waiting child list for several years. Something immediately happened in Kim’s heart when she saw this picture. Over the last 22 months we have seen countless photos of waiting children, watched dozens of hard, emotional videos of children in Haitian orphanages, but nothing had ever moved Kim like this photo. She could not stop thinking about these boys and we felt God moving us to request additional information. Once we received additional information, we were heartbroken for what these brothers have been through. 

Our Decision

We prayed, fasted and sought wise counsel and knew God wanted us to pursue adopting these two boys. We have nicknamed them our 'Little Men Meyer.'  We were given a 'soft referral' by the orphanage Director and submitted our dossier to the Haitian IBESR specifically for our little men.  

About 4 weeks after we received our 'soft referral', the 

orphanage Director contacted our Haiti Director with a very hard question for us.  Would we consider adopting the boys’ older brother as well, before he ages out of the adoption system? Once he turns 16, he is no longer adoptable. He turns 16 in December.  A family had been pursuing adopting the oldest, but they were unable to get their dossier completed fast enough so we were now being asked to adopt all 3 boys. 

We prayed and prayed and prayed for many weeks. We sought Godly counsel and knew, God wanted us to say YES! So, we are now pursuing the 3 brothers! Without a doubt, this has been the hardest decision we have ever had to make!

We need to receive the 'formal referral' for the oldest brother, before the end of December or else we are not able to adopt him and he will age out of the system.  Please pray that we would receive the referral before he ages out! We want to keep our boys together.  If we do not receive a referral by his birthday, we will continue on and adopt the younger two brothers.

At this time, the Haitian IBESR will not allow us to share the boys’ names or pictures with you, but we look forward to the day that we can. 

Our Need

We have a lot of money to raise in order to bring our 'little men' home!  We do not know where all of the funds needed to bring our 3 boys home, are going to come from, but we are relying on God. We thought raising the necessary funds for 1 child was going to be hard! Ha, 3 is HUGE!   

Our Haiti Director said we have a good chance of receiving the official referral for the boys before the oldest brother's 16th birthday. Once again, we are relying on God's timing, not ours. We do not have much time to raise the money needed to bring the 3 boys home but we know our adoption is in God's hands, not ours. If the Haitian IBESR is unable to issue us a formal referral by December 25th, we will only be able to adopt the younger two. 

We need to raise $55,000 in order to bring our 3 little men home.  As of today, we have paid $18,500 in adoption expenses.  If we receive the official referral for the 3 boys, we need to pay $22,000 in order to accept the referral, plus have about $6,500 ready for our 14 day bonding trip.  We are required to travel for the bonding trip within 2 weeks of receiving the official referral. The remaining fees will be due after the bonding trip.  

Prayer Request

• Please pray for our family as we continue on in our adoption journey. 
• That God would provide the money we need to bring our little men Meyer home.
• The safety and well-being of our little men. 
• That we would receive the grants we are applying for.
• Our paperwork would be processed quickly and correctly.

Clayton, Kim, Jett and Keira Meyer
