Our Journey has Officially Begun!

4/2/09

We are THRILLED to announce that we have officially begun our adoption journey. We chose our title because honestly we have been dreaming of Africa and our sweet babies for such a long time. We have talked, prayed, read, sought counsel, read and talked some more, dreamed and planned for what seems like forever. Ironically enough we decided to begin our paper work the same weekend that I decided to leave my job. I think that when we were home for Christmas and were with so many friends and their sweet children, we realized we wanted to start actively working toward this goal.

So here is where we are. We have submitted our initial paperwork and have been approved by our agency. This is not a home study, just approval that we meet the requirements of the country we want to adopt from and agency we want to work with. Unfortunately we have more funds to gather before we can move further but we know that God is faithful. He has given us dreams and we know that he will provide so that it becomes a reality.

We know that our journey will have it's share of ups and downs and we want to remember each detail. We want to be able to document the progress for ourselves but also for our children to know our thoughts and our prayers as we wait to bring them home. We invite you to be a part of our journey as we follow the Lord's call and expand our family through adoption.
