To celebrate New Years 2016 we took a trip to Nicaragua! There we met 2 couples who had both adopted from Nicaragua. Hearing their stories and seeing children in need created in us a desire to adopt. God used this trip to soften our hearts to the miracle of adoption. We are hoping to adopt sibling children between the ages of 0-6 years old. After we are matched to our child(ren) we will travel to Nicaragua to meet them and will be required to live there for approximately 13 weeks. We wait with expectation to see what God will do…He is such a beautiful artist and writer! He is the author of our story. He is designing our family. We celebrate who He is and what He has done!!
UPDATE:
At the beginning of August 2016 we were told adopting from Nicaragua would not be possible. We immediately knew if we were being redirected God must have a reason for that. Only 4 days after the door to our Nicaraguan adoption had closed, God opened a different door. Our adoption agency contacted us about a boy who at that time was 17 months old and has been an orphan since he was 15 days old. Currently all of our paperwork has been submitted to Ecuador for this beautiful child and we wait with expectation to bring home our son!! Thank you for praying with us as we wait.
