Ricky & Kristin Deakyne
Ricky & Kristin met in 2013, and had discussed a desire for adoption even before they were married in 2014. They have been married for 7 years, have a 4-year-old son, Noah, and are very excited to grow their family through adoption. Ricky & Kristin believe it is God-honoring to adopt and believe God has given them a passion to provide a home to an orphan.
Waiting Child
Ricky & Kristin have been matched with a 4-year old girl with down syndrome from Serbia. This special little girl was given up for adoption shortly after birth. Years ago she was abandoned, now 4 years later, Ricky & Kristin are fighting to bring her home. They cannot wait to provide her with a loving family and home where she can thrive.
Ms. Connie
Ms. Connie has lived in Waco for 5 years, and she lost her husband just 2 years ago. She also has custody of her special needs granddaughter. They moved to Waco from Houston after Hurricane Harvey. She's fortunate she was able to get her home in Waco, but she's never able to get things done. We are excited to serve her in BIG ways to help her get things done around the house and make life in Waco feel more settled. We feel honored to come alongside and love on her and her family through this service project!
