Meet the Families.

In a small Tennessee town, Kachina grew up in a world of uncertainty, moving in and out of foster care. Despite the chaos, Kachina’s heart remained hopeful, dreaming of one day creating a family filled with the love and stability she had always yearned for.

Kachina met and married Russell, a man who shared her dream of a loving, stable home. Together, they’ve built a beautiful family with two wonderful children—Zadok and Ezekiel. Their home is filled with laughter, love, and the stability Kachina had once longed for.

Yet, Kachina’s heart held another dream. She wanted to provide a loving home for a child in need, just as she had once needed. Russell wholeheartedly supported this vision, and together, they began the journey to adopt.

As they began sharing their heart for adoption, Russell was introduced to Luke and Together As One. After meeting for coffee, Russell could sense the heart that Luke and the ministry had for adoption, the birth family, and those endeavoring on the adoption journey. The Roddens are thrilled to have TOA walking alongside them in prayer and support as they seek to find the little girl to make their home complete.

Russell and Kachina’s story is a testament to the power of love, resilience, and the belief that everyone deserves a place to call home. By supporting adoption grants, you can help families like theirs provide loving, stable homes for children, ensuring that every child knows the warmth and security of a forever family.
