The Wegerts

Two names were whispered. After weeks of praying over waiting special needs kids in Eastern Europe, we had a pretty extensive list of kids we thought would be a good fit for our family.   We didn’t have very many requirements.  Under the age of our oldest bio (9 years old) and not likely to be adopted…

When I get new friend requests on Facebook, I take a quick peak at each person’s information before accepting. I see a lot of “wife” or a person’s job title, but then there are some that break the mold.  My claim to fame is befriending a “Spiritual Unicorn.”  No idea what I have in that…

God is so good. He has provided just what we needed every step. We haven’t had to hold off on any part of the process to wait for funds to come in! How cool is that? This week, we have been working on dossier docs and getting our i600 ready to file with USCIS. We…

These last couple weeks have been some of the hardest of my life. My son is starving halfway across the globe and I can’t get to him.   I’ve contacted a charity in his country to try to send him help before we get there.  I was told that even if they could get a feeding…

While working on paperwork this morning my 6 year old little girl asked, “Mom, why does it cost so much to buy a kid?” Explaining the evil of slavery made for a somber morning in our household.  While J has been denied his basic human rights, such as eating and being held, I am thankful…

O Happy Day!  I found this video of Jared SMILING and happy.  Who knows how old this video is but it looks like while he was still in his baby orphanage. Around age 4, kids transfer from an baby orphanage to an adult institution.  The quality of orphanages and institutions vary from region to region…

I’ve gotten a lot of questions about fundraising and thought I’d put the information all in one place.  First of all, we are OVERWHELMED by your support.  Thank you.  From the bottom of our hearts, we are grateful. Prayer is a game-changer and more than anything else, we ask for your prayers on our behalf. …

     Have you ever heard so clearly from God and then nothing ended up like you thought?  That happens to me.  Like when we went to India.  We thought God was telling us to become full-time missionaries, but instead He used the experience at the orphanage and immersion in the culture to show us how…

     The paperwork for this adoption is a full-time job in itself!  Essays for grants, income documentation, assets, reference letters… it’s hard being vulnerable and giving personal information to complete strangers.      Our crazy family is almost always met with extreme reactions.  Often, it’s fun to see shocked expressions and hear immediate reactions. …
