Thank You!

This may be a little overdue, but better late than never!!!  The Zacharias family just wanted to post how thankful we are for being able to host the 3rd Annual Orphan Love Run (Back in NOVEMBER 2015!!) and how thankful we are for all of the sponsors, participants, and volunteers who helped make it possible!!!

On January 18, 2016, we were in Changsha, China meeting our little girl, Lucee, for the first time. We spent the next week and a half finishing up the paperwork process and bonding with her until we were able to bring her home at the end of January.   Over the past 3 1/2 months of having her with us, we have watched her blossom and grow so much!  Looking back to the beginning of the adoption process (about a 1 1/2 ago) we are blown away how God was preparing us and her for each other and brought us together in such a special way.

Adoption (especially from an international country) can be very expensive and that was one of the reasons we were hesitant at first, but we felt God reminding us that He would take care of everything.  He used the Orphan Love Run, as well as many other avenues, to provide everything we have needed financially for this adoption.

Thanks again!
With Love,
Ben, Brandee, Noah, Gavin, Lilee, and Lucee Zacharias!
