We're Adopting!

We're very excited to announce that we are adopting!

 Donny and I have decided to start this little blog for three reasons. Number one, we want to document and remember our journey toward adoption. As humans, we’re quick to forget details and quick to forget the miraculous works God has done in our lives. Psalm 105:5, “Remember the wondrous works that he has done!” In the years to come, we want to be able to look back at these posts and praise God for his faithfulness all along the way. Number two, we want you, our friends and family, to have a fuller understanding  of our process. We want you to be able to pray for us and come along with us as we bring children in our home. It takes a village!  And finally, number three, we hope that if some of you out there are also considering adoption, maybe we can help answer some of your questions and come alongside you in your journey too!

We’re an open book! There are differing opinions about how much information adoptive parents should share – but we decided early on that we want to be as open and transparent as possible about our process. Our infertility is nothing to be ashamed of, and adoption is something that we should rejoice and glorify God in. Adoption isn’t shameful or something we want to keep a secret from our family and especially our future children.  We want you and them to know that through God’s loving provision we can model God’s adoption of us into his heavenly family.

So come along with us, and please feel free to ask any questions along the way!
