To know Dionis and Bethany is to love them, and be loved by them. Very few people have celebrated and championed others through the highs and lows of life like they have. As they step into this new journey, we have the opportunity to come along side them and help be a part of this beautiful miracle, just like they have come along side so many of us.
Here is what they had to share about their journey:
We are so excited to announce that we are in the process of adopting! The joy and excitement that we have been feeling can finally be shared with the world as we are fully home study approved and beginning to work with various agencies.
There is so much to tell with this story, but as is the case with so many, we have been on a very long hard journey through infertility. The last year or two have been so complex as we sorted through a lot of emotions because of this diagnosis, and a lot of pain and grief. There are many families who suffer in silence through this, and we're thankful that we have family, friends and community that have been able to shoulder the pain with us and walk with us through this. Though we have moved into a new stage of our journey, the sting of this grief will always be something we wrestle with. We believe that grief and pain can draw us closer to God and create hearts in us that are able to love in a deeper way than we could have before.
We wrestled with the decision about if we were still feeling called by God to build a family, and if so, what would that look like. As we set our eyes on the pathway of adoption, we believe God has lit the path in such a clear way. The doors have already flung wide open! We know God has confirmed over and over again that this is his will for us. And even more than that, he has ignited a new passion in our hearts to be able to love a child that doesn't share our same DNA.
So here we go! As follow Jesus we know that he is preparing us to be a home for a child who needs one.
It takes a lot of resources to make this happen, more than we can make happen on our own. Between attorney costs, agency costs, and birth parent support, we need your support in order to see this miracle happen. Would you consider donating?
