Adoption Application Complete!

As of 1/7/16 we are officially a part of All Blessings International. Our OFFICIAL application is currently being processed. This is all becoming very real and very exciting! After speaking with our social worker, we are going to be spending the summer preparing our home (moving the boys in one room together), preparing our finances (various fundraisers), and preparing our hearts (lots of prayers). 

John Mark and I dedicated the beginning of the year to praying for this process. One of the things that really struck our hearts is that God is already setting this in motion. Even though we have to wait, there is much more going on in the background that we don't know about. We are burdened to pray heavily for the mother of our child. If we do the math, it is possible that she could even already be pregnant or come to learn that she is pregnant any time soon. We are praying that she chooses life and chooses international adoption out of love for her child. We are praying that she finds peace in the Lord and has family around her that can support her during this difficulty time and not condemn her. We are praying that she makes healthy, life-giving decisions overall.

God's providence is a beautiful thing. We cannot wait to see how it comes to fruition. We know he is going to take care of our baby because He cares for her. We know he is going to give us the means to take care of Her because we care about what He cares about. 

Looking forward to an exciting yet challenging 2016.
