Meet Charlie, Laura, and Anthony. The Shackelfords have been married for more than 13 years. They are hopeful to grow their family through adoption. They chose to work with AdoptionWorks because they love the mission and the wonderful people who work there. Charlie works in Accounting for a children’s toy company (Laura likes to say he is Santa’s accountant), and Laura works in Higher Education helping college students to graduate and be successful in their careers.

Please pray for the Shackelfords as they hope to grow their family. Their son, also adopted through ChristianWorks, would be an amazing big brother and would love to welcome a new sibling to our loving home.

Meet Casey, Tierney, Nana (English Setter), and Gomez (Chihuahua). The W’s will celebrate their 12th year of marriage this December and met in 7th grade history class. Sparks flew in college and the rest is history! Casey and Tierney excitedly await parenthood. They feel honored to grow their family through adoption, and understand that adoption is a lifelong process that forever connects two families. Casey and Tierney chose to work with AdoptionWorks because of the intentional services and support they offer birth parents and adoptive families. They are grateful to be working with a faith-based agency and have felt lovingly supported whether through prayer, training, or quarterly check-ins.

Please pray for Casey and Tierney’s little one and their birth parents.  Please pray that their child’s birth parents would be safe, protected, and well-loved, and supported.  Please pray for the health and safety of their little baby – a child that is loved and prayed for by many (including several little anxious cousins ).  Please pray that Casey and Tierney would be strong during the adoptive wait and have faith in God’s perfect timing and perfect plan.  Please pray for the AdoptionWorks staff as well as they facilitate services for birth parents and adoptive families for the remainder of this year.
