Michael & Emma Freed
Hey there! We are Michael and Emma Freed, and we have been blessed with three beautiful children, Zechariah, Naomi, and Norah. We always had thoughts and dreams of adopting our fourth child, and the Lord made it ABUNDANTLY clear that that was His plan! We are so excited to adopt at least one, possibly two, children from India. We are honored and so excited that God chose us to care for and give a family to a little one across the world who does not have a family.
**The first $3,000 donated to this project will be matched!**

Baby Freed
In August of 2025, we both had clear words and even visions from the Lord that we were called to adopt, not domestically, but internationally. Not only did we feel clarity personally, but only a couple of days later, our church announced that its ministry would be specifically towards foster and adoptive families. For a year, we had released the dream of adoption due to some health issues, and then, suddenly, all in a week, Jesus spoke to our hearts that the time had come. It has been a journey of trust and patience, but the Lord has walked with us through every step. We are now through home study, we've turned in immigration forms, and we have turned in all of the paperwork to be registered in India!
Ms. Lisa & Ms. Beannie
Ms. Lisa is our next door neighbor! Her three kids all live far away, and, in a recent wind storm, one of her trees fell down in her backyard. We are going to do some work on getting the tree out of her backyard! We also hope to do some landscaping and home improvement jobs.
Ms. Beannie is a dear friend of ours who lives only 4 or 5 houses away from us. She has become an adopted grandma to my kids and a dear friend to Michael and I. We are hoping to do some kitchen repairs, backyard maintenance, and painting in our house. We are honored to help her!
A Different Kind of Fundraiser
A team of volunteers is completing a service project of fixing up a widow's home. We are raising sponsorship for our day of service. The funds raised will help a child to become adopted into a forever family. Will you sponsor us?
