Welcome to the Stewart's latest adoption adventure. This page is here to try to help people who are interested in our progress and who wish to pray for us. For those new to this page, I should give you a little background. In May of 2001, through a variety of circumstances, God laid it on our hearts to approach Bethany Christian Services about adopting these three children from Colombia, South America. Their names are Tatiana, Nataly, and Jhon, they are 9, 5, and 3 years old. They are living in an orphanage in Colombia and are in need of a family. You may read more about the story here.
