Shawn and Lynette Beard were married in 1998.  They have two daughters, one of whom was adopted from Russia.  Following a long-time friendship with the Box family, God, in all His wisdom, saw fit to put the desire in both of our family’s hearts around the same time to adopt our youngest daughters. While we have a heart for adoption we also have a strong desire to see families stay together. In 2015, Lynette had the opportunity to travel with Suzanne to Ethiopia and was able to see the heart of the ministry first hand.   Lynette is grateful to be a stay-at-home mom which gives her the opportunity to serve Caring for Korah through donor administration, day-to-day bookkeeping, as well as year-end reporting.
