We always knew our children would not look like us. Early on in our childhoods we dreamt of the possibility and excitement of adoption. Our experiences working in different countries with people from different ethnicities, backgrounds and cultures gave us a vision for what our families could look like. When we met, God confirmed all of these deep longings that we had to love a child who needed love. We feel absolutely privileged to invite a child into our growing family because our heavenly Father invited us into his. Adoption reminds us that when we were lost and orphaned, God himself adopted us. In Romans, God tells us that because we are in Him, and partake in His suffering, that He has adopted us as His sons and daughters and that we get to join in His glory with Him. We are grateful to take this journey with Jesus Christ as our guide and comfort, modeling the way we love this baby after the way he has loved us so well.
