November is National Adoption Month! So, here is an update on where we are in the process for all of our faithful friends who have given generously and prayed faithfully.
As our family is in transition, our adoption is on hold. We cannot proceed forward until we are settled into a new place. As so much is determined by the state one lives in and employment, it is best to wait. But, it is so difficult to wait.
Most days I miss these children I don't even know yet. I wonder where they are sleeping at night. I wonder if they have someone reading them stories. I think about their families--maybe they are on the brink of giving up their sons because of sickness or poverty. I pray for them. And, I am asking you to pray for them too, for their families, for whatever experiences are happening now which will one day mean they are in need of a family.
And, we will keep moving forward, trusting God to provide for us and them. We are anxious for a new place to live and invest and be able to give family to two orphans. God is faithful. He has the details in his sights. So, I will wake up another day and think of my boys and keep working to bring them home.
Here are some ways you can join in and help us give them family. Right now we are raising money for our in-country fees, so that as soon as we are home-study approved, we will be able to push forward without having to wait for funds.
