We’re Daniel and Tiffany Midkiff and we were born, raised and currently live in the Oak Ridge area. We’ve been blessed with two ridiculously cute (no bias here!) children, Adelaide, 5, and Luke, 2.
When Luke was about 6 months old, we felt the Lord calling us to adopt. As our research into adoption began, we discovered India has an estimated 31 million orphans! After learning this, we decided to pursue adoption from this country.
Martin Luther King Jr. once said, “Faith is taking the first step even when you don’t see the whole staircase.” We’re not sure adoption can be described better. It’s a long road of hurry up and wait, anticipation, and joy. We take each step at a time, having faith that at the end of the staircase, our daughter awaits.
Fundraising to help with adoption costs is a huge blessing to us as well as a great opportunity for others be a part of our journey. We get so excited thinking about the day we will tell our daughter of all the people who cared about her and supported her journey to be a part of our family. We cannot thank you all enough for giving us that gift of hope for her and our family – we are so grateful!
We would love for you and your family and friends to join us on Nov. 13 at Oak Ridge Park for our 5K & 1-mile run/walk fundraiser! Visit 4adoption.eventbrite.com to register.

We hope to see you Nov. 13!
