With the help of a Show Hope adoption grant, Kim and Jeremy Riggs brought home a Korean baby named Samuel in 2005. In the middle of their second adoption of a little girl named Emma, they discovered Samuel had a biological half-sister. While they had room in their hearts for both little girls, South Korean policies did not allow them to enter the adoption process for Samuel’s sister. When the Riggs’ pleaded their case with the adoption agency they were met with disappointment.
During Emma’s post-placement visit, things started to change. The visit was almost over when the social worker said, “Let’s talk about the other baby.” The agency in Korea made an exception to the rule! Chloe (Samuel’s sister) came home to her forever family just two months after Emma arrived.
Kim shares,
Because we had just finished an adoption, the grant we received from Show Hope went a long way in helping us. We are so thankful for the two adoptions Show Hope sponsors helped us fund. Thank you, thank you, thank you. Our schedule is crazy, but full of love. Thanks again for your part in helping us bring these children up to know God’s love through us.
