The Bennett Family: Nicholson, GA
Chet and Savannah live in Nicholson where they are active members of Good Shepherd Presbyterian Church. They discussed adoption early in their marriage and also hoped to have biological children. When that was no longer an option, the Bennetts share, “That season brought grief and reflection, but also clarity. As we prayed and processed together, we felt the Lord place adoption back on our hearts. Our desire is to raise a child in a Christ-centered, loving, and stable home.” Chet and Savannah are looking forward to adopting a baby from America.
The Cabe Family: Ringgold, GA
Christoper and Kelsey live in Ringgold with their daughter, Haven, who was placed with them in October 2025 through the miracle of adoption. They always felt drawn to adopting after multiple experiences with children in need of loving families. Both Christopher and Kelsey are teachers, and they are active members of Highlands Presbyterian Church.
The Kennedy Family: Canton, GA
Anthony and Emily live in Canton and are active members of Woodstock City Church. Anthony is a brand manager for a marina and Emily is a speech pathologist.

The Kramlich Family: Peachtree City, GA
Robert and Jennifer live in Peachtree City where they are active members of ONE Church. After several attempts at fertility treatments, the Kramlichs continued to pray through God’s will, being confident that He had plans for them to become parents. “Adoption was something we talked about possibly doing way down the road, but in fact, God has shown us that this has been His plan for us from the start.” Robert works as a computer science teacher and Jennifer is a speech language pathologist, and they are excited to adopt from America.
The Zamore Family: Grantville, GA
Z and Danielle live in Grantville with their son, Zander, who they adopted in 2023 with help from a RACE for the Orphans Grant. Zander’s birthmother notified the couple that she was expecting again and asked if they would adopt Zander’s biological brother. “Although this was not in our plan, it became clear that this was God’s plan and through obedience and prayer, we decided to continue along our adoption journey with baby number 2.” Baby Ever was born in February and they are adjusting to being a family of four. The Zamores are active members of SouthCrest Church in Newnan.
