Family Stories

Family Stories is a concept in development for the MICAH Fund Web site. The goal is to have MICAH Families (those who have completed adoptions with help from the MICAH Fund) tell their stories in narrative form. We are looking for volunteers to participate in this new endeavor and who will allow us tell their stories.

One Family’s Story

After the birth of their second daughter, Jack and Sue started to think about adopting their next baby. The desire grew strong; they knew it could only be a call from God. Later that year, they found out African-American and bi-racial infants are considered in adoption terms hard-to-place. That knowledge just strengthened their determination to adopt and confirmed their call from God to adopt an African-American baby. But where could they start and could they afford it? This is where the MICAH Fund came in. It provided needed financial assistance that helped pay for a critical part of their adoption agency fees. But this was just the start of Jack and Sue’s relationship with the MICAH Fund. Three years later they adopted a second African American child, again with the help of the MICAH Fund.
