Meet our September '24 Featured Family: The Breig Family

Meet our September '24 Featured Family: The Breig Family

1. Tell us more about your family.

Jared and Amelia Breig met while attending university together in Missouri. They got married in 2022 and moved to Uganda in 2023 to intern at a children's home. Earlier this year, Sarah Piper was born and welcomed into their family. They are currently still living in Uganda while completing the adoption process for Benja (age 8).

#2. Tell us more about your heart for adoption.

We believe that as followers of Christ we are called to care for those who don't have families (James 1:27). For some families, like ours, that means adoption. We are blessed to have found the connections and resources that have allowed us to bring Benja into our home - he brings us so much joy and our family would not be complete without him!

#3. Tell us more about your adoption journey so far.

We (Jared & Amelia) met Benja during a short-term mission trip to Uganda in 2021. He is the sweetest and most joyful child we have ever met. After praying about adoption in general, we strongly sensed the Lord leading us to make Benja in particular part of our family.

#4.  Tell us more about the child you are adopting. 

Benjamin just turned 8 years old. He has a diagnosis of hydrocephalus and some noticeable developmental, speech, motor, and learning delays.

Please pray for:
- continued favor with the Ugandan authorities over Benja's case
- provision to remain living overseas until the adoption is finalized
- patience for Benja as he learns to grow in confidence and improve his abilities

- encouragement for Jared & Amelia as they navigate living abroad while raising Benja and Sarah (6 months) and helping with the children's home where they work

We will be donating $1 from every bag of coffee sold this month to the Breig's Connected Hearts Ministry fund and we'd love for YOU to partner with this family to adopt this precious boy! You can donate directly to them through their Connected Hearts Ministry link, where 100% of the donation will be used for adoption-related expenses: https://give.connectedheartsministry.org/campaign/breig-family-adoption-fund/c605189
