A GIRL for the Dickens family — IN

Jake and Autumn are incredibly overjoyed to once again be on an adventure to bring their 4th daughter home! They have been married for 17 years and live on a little farm in rural Indiana. From the start they have always dreamed of having a large family and knew their family would grow through adoption. When their oldest child was born with medical needs, they became passionate and even more determined realizing that their hearts and home were created to welcome little ones with complex medical needs.

Jake loves being outdoors, reading and has recently started bee keeping. Autumn loves creating art and gardening her flowers. They have 3 little girls who they absolutely adore. River just turned 13 and is their animal loving, kindhearted artist who adores her dog, Spot and raising her baby goats and bunnies. Zephyr is 8 ½ and joined the family in 2025 from Bulgaria. She is a gentle, cuddly little one who loves music and being read to. Olive is 4 ½ and is the spunky, giggly baby of the family who loves rolling everywhere. Ollie joined the family in 2023 from Bulgaria. While all 3 girls have medical needs, they are genuinely the happiest little bunch one could meet.

Jake and Autumn felt a strong pull to Africa as they have a big family and personal connection there. They were absolutely thrilled when the most joyful, vibrant, sweet little 7 year old girl spoke to their hearts! They quickly began the process to adopt her. While this very special little girl has specific medical needs that definitely does not dampen her ability to light up the entire room!! They are so excited and 3 sissy’s can’t wait for her to come home!!!

3 back-to-back adoptions have definitely been a wild, joyful adventure. They are so grateful for all the love, encouragement and prayers and appreciate so much and with humble very hearts any assistance towards bringing their darling girl home.
