OUR STORY

In 2004 we went as missionaries to Thailand (after spending nearly 9 years in Uganda, Africa). In May, 2007, we learned about a newborn baby boy born to a young Thai woman. She was going to put him in the government orphanage. We learned about him through our Thai worker. He was 2 weeks old when we received him. His young mom did not want him neither did her boyfriend or their parents. So he became part of our family. In November of that year, 2007, we filed for adoption with the Thai Government. Through many ups and downs, two different Thai attorneys, the adoption is still not finalized. 


In August, 2010, I (Bonnie Sue) had to return to the U. S. for some medical treatment and also get our older children in the American school system so they could be prepared for university. It seemed the adoption was progressing and it would not be long before we would get the final decree. My husband, Wayne, stayed behind in Thailand with Jedidiah as we could not take him out of the country legally since he was not yet adopted. 


It has now been 17 MONTHS (!) that we have all been apart! We recently learned of an international attorney who specializes in "stuck" adoptions. We are in the process of hiring her to see if she can be successful and help bring Jedidiah home. We do not have the means for the attorney fees and so are asking for help. We also request your prayers that God will give her great wisdom and help us be successful and bring my big guy and little guy home!


We are trying to raise at least $3,000 to $4,000. Anything the attorney does not need, she will reimburse. If that would happen, we would donate that to another Christian family who are trying to adopt internationally.


Thank you for anything you can do!


For His children,
Wayne and Bonnie Sue Walker
