For those of you trying to figure out what I am talking about...yes, we are adopting again. There is a very special, six year old boy, in an orphanage, on the other side of the world that needs a family. And God has chosen our family! I really wish I could post a picture, but we are not allowed to do that quite yet.
He has such a sweet little smile, and has already been through more in his six years than most of us will in a lifetime. And God chose us to give this little boy a life outside the walls of an orphanage. It's humbling, exciting, and a little scary, but we feel so blessed to be a part of this journey.
God has a plan. He has a plan for this sweet boy. He has a plan for our daughter, who came home a year and a half ago. He has a plan for our two older boys that have been first hand witnesses of how adoption changes lives. They have been a part of it, and have given their unconditional love (yep, I'm a proud mama)!
Adoption has changed our family forever. There are hard days, and there are joyful days. God's grace is always sufficient during the tough moments. And the blessings...I cannot even begin to count! Adoption is truly a gift, and we love that God uses our family to be a part of it.
We cannot wait to meet our little boy! Will you come along side us? Will you pray with us? Please pray that God prepares his little heart for the changes that he will go through when he comes home. I constantly pray God's protection on him and that God gives him an "angel" in the orphanage that loves on him! Please pray, as we set out to raise funds to bring this little guy home. Fundraising looks like a daunting task at times, but we know that God will provide every penny!
I'm so thankful to be on this journey! I'm so thankful that God showed me that His plan was so much better than my plan.
