The Shepherd's Crook Orphan Ministry

   The Shepherd's Crook Orphans Ministry has set up a dedicated fund to receive contributions on behalf of Susy, and to help defray the costs of her adoption. If you aren't familiar with them, they are a (local to us) non-profit organization dedicated to finding safe and loving homes for special needs orphans.

The costs of international adoption are overwhelming for a family budget, and we would be hard pressed to complete one without the kindness and generosity of friends and family who see the great value in these children and help in a tangible way.

If you would like to be a part of helping us to get Susy home you may send a check to:

The Shepherd's Crook Orphan Ministry
P.O. Box 773
West Chester, OH 45071 

Please specify on the Memo line that it is a gift for Susy being adopted by Ethan and Randi Lanz.

If it is more convenient, you may  donate online here.

Thank you so much for your love for the orphan and your kindness towards us!

Awesome News!

Whoooooooooooooooooooooooot!  Do you hear me yelling over here?  Last week I asked my Facebook friends to pray for my skinny minny Little Miss who is waiting on the other side of the world.  I have been so very concerned for her as she does not seem to be thriving.  After sharing some of the details with our homestudy agency I was surprised to hear that the lady with whom I had been speaking does some volunteer work in China, and might be able to help if the orphanage was willing to accept it.

This note arrived a few minutes ago.  "I just wanted to send you a quick note to let you know I was able to talk with some LWB staff and we are able to send the best high calorie formula for six year olds to Susy's orphanage for her .  We will send 1 case for now and see how she does.  I hope this will help improve her health/nutrition while she waits for her family."

Please keep praying for the safe delivery of this case of formula and that they will actually get Susy to drink it!  Such wonderful news!
