This document summarizes the story of a family who adopted a child from Haiti named Steeven two years after initially beginning the adoption process. It describes how an earthquake in Haiti led to uncertainty about whether Steeven was alive, but the adoption agency was able to locate him and get him to safety with his new family. The family is thankful for Steeven joining their family, and they have seen God's plan come to fruition as Steeven has overcome health issues and brought joy to their lives.

3. Our Story

 When God told us to move forward with adoption, we never could've imagined the
plan he had for us. After years of being in the process we were finally able to bring
our son, Steeven Israel Christensen, home with us, only not the way we had
imagined. After the earth quake in Haiti we desperately wondered if our son was
alive. GLA did a wonderful job keeping us up to date on what was happening and
did everything in their power, mostly with God's hand, to get Steeven to us where he
was safe. Our family will never forget that day or the weeks that followed.
 Steeven has always been a boy that is full of life! He makes friends with nearly
everyone he meets as he shows them the love God has put in his heart. He has
struggled with a number of health issues since coming to us, but his fire does not go
out, at least not for too long. Many people have told us that Steeven is blessed to
have found our family, but we strongly believe that our entire family is blessed to
have him join us. We thank God for his great plan for all our lives and are
encouraged daily as we see it play out.
