Please Welcome Our Newest Daughter, Sana!!
// August 5th, 2009 // Loux Family News
Our big news this week is that Leeann’s little sister “Sana” (not blood related but raised with her) will be arriving from the Marshall Islands to Kansas City on August 20th to become the newest member of our family! Leeann became part of our ever growing family back in December. As she began to experience the love of a family, and she realized how children should be loved and cared for, Leeann became extremely burdened for her little sister. She came to us several times over the last three months in tears asking if we would consider pulling Sana out of the situation she was in and bring her into our family. This was the orphan interceding for the orphan. We were so moved by Leeann’s compassion and burden that we agreed to pursue adopting Sana. Well, like so many times before, the Lord opened door after door and we are expecting Sana to arrive with Renee’s mom in two weeks.
We would also like to thank my brother Terry, and his wife Amy, for all they did to help us get Sana’s paperwork completed and expedited. Among the many things Terry and Amy are involved with in the Marshall Islands, they do much to help the children there. They have amazing hearts and we are so thankful for them. Thanks guys, we love you!
We will need to purchase Sana’s ticket by tomorrow and will also need to buy her clothes, shoes, school supplies etc… We would really appreciate your prayers, for God’s provision as we bring in another child and make her part of our family. The Lord is faithful!
Also, please pray with us regarding our purchasing land and building a home for all the children the Lord is sending us. We are looking at 45 acres of land right now that would be perfect for what we’re trying to build. We need $279,000. to purchase this land and are trusting the Lord to provide it. He is able!
It is going to be really tight with 13 of us packed in our home but the joy we have far exceeds the inconveniences! His plans for all these precious ones is great (Jermiah 29:11)!
Much love and thanks to all of you for your continued prayers!
Renee’, Derek and tribe
Beautiful Sana!

Amazing! You are a precious family! How blessed you all will be to add Sana to the fam! XO Sarah
We love you guys and are FOR you!! Can’t wait to hear the great story of her arrival!
And on a side note….I LOVE that you listed “What About Bob” as a favorite movie…hilarious!
I am so encouraged by your love! It is truly inspiring. We would love to adopt our next baby, and we will probably lean on you guys for some advice! Do you have a lot of connections for adoptions in the Marshall Islands? We love you!
Oh my gosh! Amazing. Sana is beautiful. Being in RMI was so difficult to not come home with all of the kids there. We will definitely be back for more since we loved it so much – the people, culture, kids, everything. Esme’ has been such a love and we are so excited to have the RMI culture now incorporated in our lives.
Many congrats!!!
Kate & family.
Renee, would you mind emailing me…I have a question for you. Thanks!
Hi, first congrats on your newest addition to your family. She is beautiful and I know she will be a blessing to your family and your family a blessing to her. I looked for a contact on your blog, but didn’t see anything. I would love to talk with you about your RMI adoption if you have a moment. We have one son (international adoption) and are pursuing domestic now. We considered RMI but there seemed to be only one route. I would love to learn more about your process if you don’t mind. Again, congratulations and your family will be in our prayers! Sabrina ( sabrina @ worldfire dot net ; no spaces)
She is beautiful, congratulations!! How sweet of Leeann interceding on behalf of her sister!! Would you mind telling me a bit about how you went about adopting from the Marshall Island’s? Do you know of the parent restrictions (ie: age etc.). I would love any and all information you have regarding the program. Thanks so much, and congratulations on your rapidly expanding family!
