The Elmore Family Homepage
We are a Christian family who has been homeschooling for 5 years. We have added children to our family through birth and adoption. We have also fostered 30 children ages newborn to 14. We recently bought a large 3,000 sq ft house and are in the process of remodeling it.  We have two dogs, Grant who is a Great Dane and Jackson who is a lab/shepard mix. Our whole family is involved in the AWANA program and we also have two children who are members of an ACTION team called AIM 4 FAITH.

Sadly we had to put Grant to sleep on May 7th, 2004.  He was such a great dog and really loved our kids.  He went peacefully to sleep with his head on my lap after we discovered a tumor on his spleen that took up his whole abdomen.  It was a sad day and he will be greatly missed.

Jeremy's Poster at NCMEC
My brother Jeremy disappeared on August 14, 1986 from the Coos County Fair in Myrtle Point Oregon.  He was 14 years old and I was 9.
He's been gone for almost 19 years now.  That's a long time to not know what happened to somebody.  19 years of wonder and hurt.  Somewhere inside you have a small flicker of hope that he will return but in your mind you know that it's probably to late for that.  I have to believe that he's in heaven rejoicing with the angels and talking with my Grandma.  He's watching over my family and keeping them safe.
His birthday is May 25th 1976.  He loved birthdays.  May 25th is also National Missing Children's Day.  To honor him I have placed a banner below that will take you to the National Center for Missing and Exploited Children.  Go there and search for pictures of children in your area.  Stop at the Wal-mart board and see if there are any familiar faces.  I do everytime I go there.  You may be the one who recognizes a face and brings a child home to their family where they belong.  You could be the one who changes that heartache into pure joy. 
HAPPY BIRTHDAY JEREMY!!  WE LOVE YOU!
