Introduction
Hello from Indiana, We are Dale and Buffey Kunkle. We have been married
for over 13 years and have two boy's. We have wanted to adopt for a long
while now, and we didn't really know when that would be, we were just
waiting on God's timing. I, have felt the calling to adopt, since the
age of 10 years old. In 2002', we lost a daughter, when I was 5- 5 1/2
months along in my pregnancy. Devastation to say the least, as we didn't
understand why God would allow this to happen. In June of 2004', I gave
birth to my youngest son, who is a miracle to say the least. After the
loss of our daughter and the very difficult time, I had carrying my son,
we chose to have my husband get fixed. The doctor's said it wasn't a
wise thing for me to carry another child, and we agreed. Years later, we
decided our family wasn't complete, and we contemplated adoption at
that time, but financially and spiritually It wasn't the right
timing.....My husband and I , then brought up a few years later that we
wanted more children. We decided then to have him get a reversal done
and try for our own biological children once more, despite what the
doctors were saying, because we believed in the power of prayer and a
God, that worked miracles!!!! We were excited at that fact that we would
be parents again. The reversal didn't work and we found this out, after
trying for 2 years......thinking it was me the whole time. So after
many doctor appointments and finding out that we could no longer have
our own children biologically, we were obviously devastated and we were
angry. We didn't understand how some doors could be open and others
could be closed permanently. I cried out to God and asked Why? You see,
God has his reasons, for everything. After some time had passed, we then
again, began to talk about adopting a daughter. We just knew in our
hearts, that our family wasn't complete. I did a lot of searching and
researching for months and eventually came across Reece's Rainbow...I
knew then, that my calling would come to pass and we would be adopting a
child for our family. We came across "Jenni" and felt drawn to her. We
hope and pray that our journey to adopt this beautiful child, will not
be in vain, but it will glorify God to the fullest as we are to take
care of his orphans and widows. What could please him more? This
journey, we know isn't an easy one, and would appreciate all the prayers
and support. May God Bless you, as you follow us and our journey and
help sow seed into her life and our lives. Love, The Kunkle's
