"Trust"

"Trust"... That is the exact word I hear as I pray for this adoption. I find myself doubting more often than not.  It is hard to trust when everything is so uncertain and many situations have not worked out the way we planned.  However, God has shown up in big ways and often at times where we both feel like giving up. I can't even begin to tell you the number of times we talk about throwing in the towel and within the hour we receive an encouraging note or donation.  These moments are so welcomed and much needed as we continually learn the true meaning of trusting our Heavenly Father and replacing our desires for our family with His.  Thank you to everyone who has lifted us up in prayer and walked with us through this journey! Here is an update:


We are about 2 to 2.5 months out from the due date. Since my last update we have been Skyping with the birth mom and our attorney just about every week. We have enjoyed getting to know her and look forward to having a relationship with her for the rest of our lives. A lot of the details of the adoption are up in the air until the due date gets closer.  One detail I have learned is that I will have to stay in the state of Florida 2-4 weeks while the adoption is being finalized. Thankfully, so many people have stepped up and I think I will be able to move between a few different homes so as not to impose on anyone for too long.  I am not looking forward to being away from my husband and other kids for that long though. This process is so stressful, yet so exciting to think that our baby could be in our hands so soon.  We ask... Beg you to join us in prayer for these last few months: 1) pray for the birth mom and her heart, I can't even imagine what she has to go through 2) Pray for the baby that he remains healthy 3) Pray for finances to fall into place, and finally 4) pray for the 4 of us to continue trusting 

Thank you all so much for everything! I will keep you updated!
