Exciting News!

The time has come for us to share with you our exciting news!  After several years, much prayer and lots of joy we are ready to share that we have put in our application to adopt a brother for our girls, and a son for us.  The last month has been a whirlwind but we are pleased to say that our application is in and our journey has begun.  We have actually applied for a specific child that we are very close with.  The girls are ecstatic and we pray that if it be God's will the adoption workers will choose us to be his forever family. 
For safety reasons at this time we cannot share many details other than we call him baby c and he is 7 months old.
The next few months will be filled with adoption classes and an extensive home study at which time the adoption worker will make her decision for the best match for baby c.
Isaiah 54 has been a comfort to me as we have prayed through the beginning of this journey.  This chapter is filled with verses on compassion, unfailing love, peace, and joy.
We ask that you will pray with us and for us as we embark on the next step in this journey.  We pray that we will be protected from the emotional roller coaster.  We pray that a decision will happen quickly so that baby c can begin his life in his forever home.  We also pray that baby c will continue to thrive in the amazing home he is in now.  We pray that he will be comforted and loved as he grows and develops.
I will do my best to keep this blog updated as we go through the process.  Please check back often.  At this time I cannot post pictures but hopefully will be able to soon.
