****UPDATE**** Baby Austin Y has joined our family! He is still in the NICU getting stronger each day, but due to unforeseen medical and agency expenses, our need is greater than expected. Thank you for helping bring Austin home to his forever family! ****************** I am thrilled to announce that I have started the process of adoption! I am incredibly excited and filled with joy about this new direction. I feel God is leading me to grow my family. (We prayed for this child, and the Lord has granted what we asked of Him.) 1 Samuel 1:27 While adoption is the most remarkable and rewarding experience, it is also incredibly expensive. I would be so blessed and thankful for you to be a part of my fundraising! If you are unable to make a donation, please cover me in prayer as I embark on this journey. Pray for me as I prepare my heart and life for a sweet baby! I would love for you to join me in praying for this precious little baby. Please pray for the birth mother. Pray that the Lord would give her an intense love for her baby and that He would help her make wise decisions in every step of her pregnancy. Pray that through her adoption journey she would truly feel the peace, comfort and love of God. Pray she will feel confident in her decision to give her child the best life possible. There are times in our lives when we need to ask for help. This is not an easy thing for me to do. I have many fees to pay and am confident God will provide exactly what I need. I am praying you will help me on this journey. No matter what or how much you are able to give, God will bless the gift and the giver. At the end of this journey, we will all be blessed by this precious child.
