The Smith's added 2 biological children to their family in 2003 and 2005. Even though Phil & Niki thought their family was complete, God had other plans as He called them to grow their family through adoption.
In July 2012, they added a 2 year old daughter with moderate to severe scoliosis to their family. When they returned from their adoption journey in China, they felt called to adopt a 2nd daughter from China. This would be their biggest leap of faith in their 17 years of relationship. Not only were they physically, emotionally, mentally & financially drained leading to much hesitation to follow though. The child they had been called to adopt was a 13 year old daughter that would age out of the system (no longer being eligible for adoption) and she was profoundly deaf. Phil & Niki never felt they were the best option because they not only knew nothing about raising a teen but they knew nothing about deafness. However, God did not care about their inadequacies. God called them to add this child as their daughter so with more unknowns than knows, they followed His lead. Through much rush & stress, their adoption was completed just 3 days shy of their daughter's 14th birthday.
Life has been a whirlwind for the Smith's over the last few years. Phil is a high school teacher and Niki is a stay at home mom. This shop has been opened to support the adoption debts, medical debts, and expanding bills of 4 children. However, Phil & Niki feel blessed! They are blessed with a loving family of 4 children and they have been blessed by others that have aided them through their adoption journeys. The Smith's want to use this shop in turn to bless & help others.
