Celebrating Forever: Congratulations Barnes Family!

Where tiny hands and big hearts meet — belonging begins.

We are thrilled to celebrate the Barnes family as they officially welcome their daughter into her forever home — a home where she is cherished, celebrated, and truly belongs. After three wonderful years together, this beautiful young girl, full of sparkle and joy, is now forever a part of the Barnes family.
She loves everything makeup, jewelry, and playing dress-up — filling every room with laughter, creativity, and her bright personality. The Barnes family shared their journey with us:
"Years before our marriage, we knew God had called us to open our home to children who needed a safe and loving place to call home for however long that was. When her permanency plan became adoption, it confirmed what we felt too — she was home."
They will never forget the first time she was placed in their arms — tiny, wrapped in a blanket that weighed more than she did — and how from that very moment, belonging began to grow.
"She has brought unimaginable love and joy into our lives. We are blessed to be her parents."
Their story is a beautiful reminder that belonging is not just about a home, but about hearts finding their rightful place — surrounded by love, security, and joy.
Please join us in celebrating the Barnes family and the extraordinary love that has made them whole
