Andrea is a stay-at-home mom, a teacher (yes – crazy enough to homeschool!), a photographer and is passionate about doing life TOGETHER. She believes we need orphans and widows in our lives far more than they need us... we need each other …to do life – real life – TOGETHER.
After falling in love with Africa through Wiphan Care Ministries (www.wiphan.org) in 2007, Andrea and her husband felt the Lord tuggin’ their hearts to grow their family and for them, adoption just made perfect sense. In 2010, they welcomed home the 6th member of the Young family, and in March of 2011, they took another step of faith in growing their family AGAIN… this time being led to special needs in China.
Andrea is also the founder of Created4Care, a women's conference that has served 900 women annually on their journey of foster care and adoption.
