We basically enjoyed being together and were married in December of 2000 in Coeur d’ Alene, ID.
We currently have three wonderful children (two biological and one adopted) Hunter age 10, Jaedyn age 8 and Micah age 7. Brenda and I were saved in 2002 slightly after Hunter was born and have been attending church and walking with the lord ever since. We love to spend all our free time with our children so any and all family outings are centralized around being together. We love to ride bikes together, take our kids camping in the summer and in the winter we like to go skiing as a family.
The Lord has put it on our hearts for some time to adopt as we adopted Micah (Ethiopia) at age three We feel that the Lord has led us to adopt from Uganda and we are feeling led to adopt a couple of children – He may have different plans – so we will let Him decide. You might wonder what made us decide to do this and all we can say is that it was God who put this desire into our hearts although Brenda can no longer have children we feel the Lord’s calling in this area of our lives very strongly.
• “Pure and genuine religion in the sight of God the Father means caring for orphans and widows in their distress and refusing to let the world corrupt you” James 1:27)
We are excited about the opportunity to offer these kids our love and to learn about Jesus. We know God has special children chosen just for us and we are eager to be completely faithful and obedient to what He is calling us to do. It will be exciting to see how He works out the whole adoption process.
It will be an eye opening process to see what God is going to do in our lives through these kids. The process is long and not without obstacles but we are ready for the challenge that the Lord has set before us; as we want to follow his will and path throughout this whole process.
In His Grip,
Larry and Brenda Beatty

But since that time I have married a very loving and caring woman. My wife asked me several times if I would like to adopt a child. She said she always wanted to provide a home for a child in need. I was undecided and felt that I should ask God for an answer. As always, in late December of last year I awoke and my answer came to me. Not only did I want to adopt one child, now I wanted to adopt a sibling group. Of course my wife was very excited when I told her I found a sibling group in the Ukraine I would like to adopt. (The children you see in this picture are the ones we desire to adopt, though that is subject to change.) We started the adoption process in February.

After having their first child, Ezra, God opened their eyes to the millions of orphans around the world who deserve parents. After praying (and researching, and discussing, and praying some more), they are moving forward to adopt a child from Nicaragua. They are currently assembling their dossier and hope to bring home their son or daughter in the summer of 2013.

After much time and tears we realized that adoption was the answer we needed to our prayers. Our journey has been long as some of you may know. However, it is getting closer every day.

We know there is a little boy or girl in Russia just waiting for us. As our home study wraps up we realize the ball is rolling quickly now. As this is the case we also realize we have about a $10,000 final goal to reach and would love all the help we could get to making our adoption our family reality. Any amount would be a blessing and all your well wishes and prayers would be a blessing as well.

We always wanted to adopt internationally but didn’t know when or from where. In 2009 God specifically called us to two little boys in Zambia, Africa. We brought them home in April, 2010. We had our fifth biological child in March 2011 and thought we were done. In late 2011, God specifically and clearly called us to two precious little boys in China. Both children were born with cleft lip and palate as well as other facial anomolies. Our third biological child, Azlan, was born with the same condition and it has been amazing to see how God has lined everything up for “such a time as this”.

Adoption is very close to the heart of God, as He adopted us into his eternal family through Jesus. We are humbled to be used by Him and cannot wait to bring our precious little boys home.

We have 3 precious daughters at home with us and we are waiting for our newest daughter to join us soon from China.

The Lord first called our family to adopt in 2007 and we submitted our paperwork to China at that time. As the wait for a referral from China grew longer, we applied to adopt from Ethiopia as well. We were overjoyed to bring home Eleora from Ethiopia in July of 2010. Then in May of 2011, God directed us to search for a waiting child in China. After Bryan had been laid off from work for several months, the Lord provided a new job for him and we were matched with our daughter only a few days later! We are now in the home stretch of our long adoption journey and are excited to be able to travel to China in the next few months to bring home Brielle. We already love her so much!

We are still in need of about $10,000 for our final fees and travel expenses. God has been with us and has been directing us every step of the way and we know that He is faithful to complete His good work. If He is

prompting you to be a part of what He is doing in our adoption, we are so thankful for your support. We are almost there!

Gratefully,
Bryan and Amber Booy

Haiti is a typical third world country when it comes to government instability and inconsistent systems. We are old pros with the ups and downs of a Haitian adoption being as we went through this for Bo. Consequently, we know that prayer and a heavy leaning on the Father is the only thing that will make an impact. We are obediently following God’s lead (despite my words that we would never do this again). We are in the process of bringing our beautiful six year old daughter, Berline, home. I would say patiently waiting, but that wouldn’t be completely accurate. But I am confident that He will bring our family together in His perfect timing.

God places the lonely in families Psalms 68:5-6

Please pray for our sanity in this long crazy process. Please pray for comfort and safety for Berline. We know that God’s Glory will shine through this journey, however difficult.

One of our challenges is finances. We estimate the remaining fees and travel costs to be around $10,000.

Not all of us can do great things, but we can do small things with great love. –Mother Teresa

We have been amazed how God has taken our small efforts and made much of them. If you would like to be a part of God bringing Berline to her forever family, you can donate below. Thank you for supporting us through donations, prayer, and friendship.

We are adopting a little girl from China, and will be matched with a specific child hopefully in the next few months, then travel to China to bring her home (she’ll be around 9 months-2 years old). As a family, we’re excited and have been praying for her.

Some of you are probably wondering what has prompted us to adopt. Well, primarily, we’ve felt so clearly directed by God to adopt that we want to obey Him, and we also desire to give an orphan child a family that she probably won’t otherwise have.

The biggest challenge for us is not opening our hearts and home to another child, but it is in finding the fiancés to make this happen. We estimate our total cost for adoption fees, document preparation, home study, airfare, travel, attorney fees, etc to be $35,000. This is money we don’t have, but we know God is faithful and is leading us to trust Him.

Thank you for investing in our God Dream through prayer and finances- it will be an investment with an eternal return! (Matthew 6:20) We’ll give you an update with a picture and details as we receive them. Please pray this entire process will glorify God and fulfill His purposes!

Best Regards,
Brian & Tonya Mattox
