Adoption Update

The last time I gave an adoption update it was in January in my waiting post.  At that point we gave all control to God and we waiting for Him to lead us/drop something into our laps.  That is just what happened!

A close friend of mine has a close friend who runs an adoption consulting business.  Through a couple of phone calls we spoke with her and got more information.  We prayed about it and decided that God had opened this door and we would walk through.  We contacted a home-study agency,  met with our social worker and submitted all of our paperwork.  We also created a profile book that introduces our family to send to birth mothers. 

On Wednesday May 2nd we got our official approved home study in the mail!!!  Four days later on Sunday May 6th we were matched with a birth mother.  She is more than we could have ever imagined!  We are so thankful for her and for her love of her unborn child.

I have a perm-a-smile on my faceOpen-mouthed smile  I can’t believe this is happening! 

We would appreciate prayers for a smooth adoption process.  Pray that we would share the love of Jesus with everyone we come into contact with.  Pray for health and safety for the birth mother and for the baby.

We can’t wait to see God’s plan unfold!!  The due date is August 14th!!
