Kenneth and Abigail’s Adoption.
Meet the KR Family! As ministers within Uganda, this family had long worked with Loving Hearts Babies Home, helping to volunteer their time and effort to make Loving Hearts a great place for babies. After more than a year of volunteering almost every day, Mrs. KR fell in love with one of the babies at our home. As newly-weds with a new baby already on the way, the KR Family started praying about adding a second baby to its quickly growing family. Shortly after giving birth, they adopted Baby K, who gained not only a family, but a younger sister as well. Click on the link below to watch this beautiful story:
