It's with hearts full of excitement and anticipation we share with you that we're stepping out in faith, and taking the next steps in growing our family! Christmas day we submitted an application to a private adoption agency not expecting much, but to our surprise we were chosen as one of ten families invited to orientation to learn more about the adoption process. For years we've desired to grow our family through adoption, but were hesitant due to the financial costs. Through orientation we were enlightened and educated about the ways the funds of adoption are used to provide immense support to expectant moms not just through the matching process but post adoption as well. Part of this support includes counseling, transportation to and from medical appointments, paying for medical expenses, meeting physical needs, and helping care and support expectant moms with any need that arises and much more. In addition to the support provided for expectant moms, support is also provided to adoptive families through counseling both throughout the adoption process, and post adoption. We share all of this so you might understand as we've come to, that adoption is a ministry that changes lives. We're so excited to step in and be a part of it and we hope you'll join us in that. It's been a long winding journey for us to grow our family. We've had the privilege of our lives and great joy to love two sweet boys through foster care. We've experienced deep deep heartache through nearly a decade of infertility. Now we prepare our hearts with expectant hope for the little one who will join our family forever through adoption.
Thank you for being here, and journeying down this road with us. We will look to The Lord for each next step, and as always we will praise Him in the waiting.
