Baby Wall #3

 This last week we have gone through a lot of mixed emotions... so many highs and so many lows. Dan and I started the adoption process through Christian Family Care agency! CFC is a non profit organization that helps adoptive families and birth moms through the adoption process using biblical principles. We are so excited about this process. The only scary thing is that adoption is so expensive! We are talking 12 to 20 thousand dollars. I would love to say that on Dan's teaching salary we can afford to adopt 5 kids; however, we aren't exactly rolling in the dough. :)  Although money is a huge hump in our journey, we have decided that despite the cost we are going to trust God throughout this process. Needless to say, we are so excited and already anticipating the arrival of baby Wall #3! We have already put hours and hours of prayer into this baby's life and trust the Lord and his timing. However, recently, the skeptics have appeared... Now I know that there will always be skeptics in whatever avenue you choose for your family. One of ours popped up in a recent conversation where we were told that maybe it wasn't a good idea for us to proceed with the adoption process because of our income. This conversation was extremely tough on me for a couple of reasons. One, I already have those fears of not having enough money to pay for an adoption.  And two, I can"t just pop kids out which is a major reason we wholeheartedly want to grow our family through adoption. It is so important to us to teach our children about the Lord and watch them make a difference in society. As a couple, Dan and I have decided that we do not want to pursue any type of fertility treatment because of the number of children in this world that need a good solid home. We have been pretty discouraged already with this process and just keep praying for God's will. We are laying every aspect of this adoption at His feet and we invite you to join us in this crazy journey. We have set up a page on gofundme.com and pray that this will be one of the ways God gives baby Wall #3 its home!  Help us spread the word and follow us as we add to our walls!

As we go through this journey, we not only pray for our baby but also the birth mom. This song is very touching!
