Meet the Braaten family – a remarkable family of ten comprised of four children who were born biologically into the family and four who came into the family through the gift of adoption. Shauna and Adam, the caring parents, have dedicated their lives to being a blessing to others. Now, they find themselves facing unforeseen challenges and are in need of the same blessings they have bestowed upon countless others.
Their 12 year old daughter came into their family through adoption and is currently battling a severe mental health crisis. The family is doing their best to provide her with the specialized care and treatment she urgently needs. They have found a Christian facility specifically tailored to her diagnosis, but it is not state-run and located far from home (flights needed), requiring monthly expenses of $4,000 (12+ months), plus an additional $4,000 for registration. Their hope and prayer are to give their daughter the best chance at healing and recovery.
