Caleb and Mehgan Drake met at a bowling alley a decade ago. He was so smitten, that he proposed to her that night with a plastic vending machine ring–they have been together ever since. During the past nine years of marriage, they have had three precious children. Andi is 7, Lilly is 4, and Sawyer is 3. Caleb works as an account manager for a popular soda company, Mehgan is a crafting-cooking-stay at home mom, and Andi is an incredibly smart first grader. Lilly and Sawyer stay home with Mehgan and bring joy to their home.
They are a Christian family, who is earnestly seeking out God’s will for their family. They came to the realization that they were taking care of themselves, but not really anybody else. So they began to pray that God would direct them in the way they could best serve Him, show His love to others, and help others. They found Reece’s Rainbow and the needs that the children had was so heartbreaking, that it stayed with them for days. It was heart-wrenching looking at all of the sweet pictures and profiles of the kids that had been abandoned to a life of neglect simply because they weren’t “normal”. Long story short, they have fallen in love with a little boy with Down syndrome, named Heath, and are actively pursuing his adoption so they can bring him home. They had always considered adoption as a possibility for themselves, and now God is opening doors and making it happen. They believe that they are following God’s will in taking this huge leap of faith, and they would love for you to follow their journey, and join them in prayer as they move forward.
