Our Family - March 2010

Ron, Andrew, Kirk (Dianara's Fiancé) Jacoby, Paul, Daniel

Dianara, Shawna, Jenny

Hi, we are the Young Family. We have one biological and seven adopted children. In 1986 we started adopting special kids who needed a mom and a dad. Why? Because we wanted to make a difference, we wanted to do something that counted. Each one of our children are unique and special. We know that God made a way for us to adopt each one. Each one is a story of a miracle and of God’s hand of protection! God is GOOD!
 

September 13, 2009.  Death of our Daughter Monique

 

Three days after the Memorial Service for Cyndi and Keshon, Monique collapsed and was rushed to Emergency.  She spent 13 days in ICU unconscious and on a ventilator.  She died due to complications from the H1N1 Virus (Swine Flu). Monique was welcomed into heaven on September 13, 2009. Monique was 19 years old.

August 22, 2009.  Death of our Daughter Cyndi and grandson Keshon

 

Cyndi (who was 7 1/2 months pregnant) and her husband were in a tragic car accident when a driver ran a red light and "T-boned" their car. The doctors were unable to save neither Cyndi nor the baby. Both Cyndi and our first grandson Keshon were welcomed into heaven on August 22, 2009. Cyndi was 20 years old.

We miss Cyndi and Monique more than words can express, but we have this hope, this confidence, that because of their faith in Christ, to be absent from the body is to be with Christ. The parting is not final, but each of us will have to wait until we see Jesus face to face to be able to hold Cyndi, Monique and Keshon again.

 

It was the day(s) the world went wrong, I screamed til my voice was gone

And watched through the tears, As everything came crashing down

Slowly panic turns to pain, As we awake to what remains

and sift through the ashes that are left behind

 

But buried deep beneath, All our broken dreams, we have this hope:

 

Out of these ashes... beauty will rise

and we will dance among the ruins, We will see Him with our own eyes

Out of these ashes... beauty will rise

 For we know, joy is coming in the morning...in the morning, beauty will rise

 

Beauty Will Rise” by Steven Curtis Chapman
 

Psalm 139:16-17a:  You saw me before I was born. Every day of my life was recorded in your book. Every moment was laid out before a single day passed. How precious are your thoughts about me, O God!
