Welcome
Thanks for taking the time to visit our website. We are Roy and Cassandra Garza, high school sweet hearts, who have been happily married for 15 years. Roy is a pastor at Pillar Church, located in Stafford, Virginia. I am a homeschooling mother of our three beautiful daughters; Gabrielle, Allisa, and Isabella. For many years now we have felt a strong desire to adopt but it wasn't until recently that God made that desire a reality. In December 2011, we learned of two orphaned twin boys, Jackson and Noah, living in Haiti. After diligently praying to God for His guidance and talking it over with our children we have decided to pursue adopting them.
As you probably know the process of adopting internationally is tedious, expensive, and there are many complicated steps involved. We have created this website to share this journey with you, ask for your prayers, and to solicit your support to help bring Jackson & Noah home. We ask that you read over the information on the site, pray for us every day, and give if you have the ability to do so. We hope that the pages of this site will answer most of your questions but if there happens to be anything else you'd like to know please contact us using the information on the contact page.
Mèsi pou pran tan nan ale sou sit wèb nou an. Nou se Roy ak Cassandra Garza , kè dous lekòl segondè, ki te san pwoblèm mwen tap marye pou prèske 14 ane. Roy se yon pastè nan legliz bòn tè, ki chita nan Stafford, Virginia. Mwen se yon manman lekòl lakay nan twa pitit fi bèl nou yo; Gabrielle , Allisa , ak Isabella . Pou anpil ane kounye a nou te santi yon dezi fò yo adopte men li pa te jiska dènyèman ke Bondye te fè ki anvi wè yon reyalite. Nan mwa Desanm 2011, nou te aprann nan de òfelen marasa , Jackson ak Noe , k ap viv an Ayiti. Apre konnen tout bagay lapriyè nan pye Bondye pou gidans epi pale li sou ak timoun nou an, nou te deside pouswiv adopte yo.
