Some of you may not know but our family has made the decision to obey God's calling for us and pursue adoption. This year has been full of researching domestic and international adoption, agencies, and so many different adoption stories. We know that God commands us to take care of the widow and orphan, to be a father to the fatherless. We know the greatest adoption story is our adoption by our Heavenly Father.
This is such an emotional and self revealing experience. Talk about streching you! The paperwork, the wondering, the worry, the explaining....it can be intense. But wow...knowing this is all God's and knowing that he only wants good for us is such a soft place to come back and rest in.
So we have heard from the angency we have applied to. They are a domestic agency that placed only 13 babies this year. We are on the list for a pre-adoption conference but they are not sure when that will be because the babies just aren't there. We know that this agency puts the birth mothers first (as it should be!) and by ministering and supporting these women many choose to keep their sweet babies.
This means we wait...and trust God. I know our baby is out there and God will put all of this in place in His perfect timing. This also means we keep tackling the financial aspect of adoption. The money part is the equivelant of morning sickness with the first three!!!
