Timm and Tabatha Rees reside in Bancroft, MI. The met in High school and started
dating in the summer of 1998. They never looked back from there. In 18 years of
marriage, they have had 8 biological children. Through it all, they always talked about
wanting to adopt “eventually.”
In August of 2014, an event happened that would change them profoundly. This is
when their precious little girl, Faith would be lost to stillbirth. Having never really gotten
the chance to know their little girl, they found themselves asking, “did she know we loved
her?” Struggling to deal with this question, they eventually started to notice all of the
medically fragile children on Reece’s rainbow and found themselves asking the same
question; do these kids have anyone who they know loves them?

Soon after, in October of 2015, their son, Trevor was born with Cerebral Palsy. This
would catapult the Rees family into the world of special needs. Watching and helping
Trevor grow and learn over the next three years would give them a passion for special
needs kiddos and the confidence that they could handle a child with special needs.

Soon enough, Tabatha would see a post on Facebook asking if anyone would be willing
to adopt Alivea before she ages out of the system. She knew right away that this was her
little girl. She showed the videos and pictures to Timm and asked about his interest,
expecting some form of “not yet,” but instead, he replied, “let’s pray about it.” They did
so for several days and realized that yes, God was leading them to adopt this precious
little girl.

Won’t you please consider joining them in prayer and support for this amazing little girl?
