Thoughtful, caring, God loving, and strong are only a few of the qualities that Malakoff Band Director Chad Bentley and his wife, Malakoff Theatre teacher Jessica, possess. They are now opening their arms to take in a child through adoption and need help with the expenses.
Chad Bentley posted on Facebook:
Good morning Facebook friends, seven years ago today was a very beautiful and special day in my life. I made the best decision of my life to start a family with my lovely wife Jess and our son Sonny. I couldn’t be happier even if I had another lifetime to choose a bride and son.
Today, seven years later, we have reached another milestone in our life together. After being open to children our entire marriage and going through surgeries, treatments, medicines, and doctors to seek an end to our infertility issues, we have placed it all in God’s loving hands. Through prayer and acceptance of God’s divine Will we have decided to adopt a child to bring into our family. We wait with open arms for this baby to come into our life, and ask for your continued prayers and if you find it in your hearts, please take a look at our charity page, forward it to friends, and help in any way you see fit.
Jess and I know that we have the best friends this world can offer and we thank you for any and all help you can offer. God bless you and we love you all!
