Michael and Meredith have a passion for adoption and for the orphaned children around the world.  In 2008 they adopted Emma and Micah from Ukraine and were in the final stages of a foster care adoption when God called them  to "stop looking and act" while advocating for Monroe.  Meredith has served in Reece's Rainbow since September 2008 as the Ukraine Family Service Coordinator, helping adoptive families through the process.  Michael and Meredith have 6 children at home.  Kristopher is 6 and the big brother of the group.  Brianna is 4 and has Down syndrome.  They then adopted Emma, now 7 with Down syndrome and Micah, now almost 4 with Down syndrome from Ukraine.  Lynae is their youngest at 10 months old.  James is their newly adopted child that is also 4 and has Down syndrome.
