Thank you so much to each of you who responded to our announcment with prayers and words of encouragement! We are so blessed with tremendous family and friends! Several of you requested to be kept updated on the adoption process, so we have decided to blog in order to keep our freinds and family in the loop and track God's miracles along the way. We will start from the beginning to fill you on on how the decision came about and then from there, will just post when there is something to share. Adoption is a long process so there will be times when we will update you often and times of waiting. We really appreciate all the wonderful emails and words of support from so many of you and we are really excited to share the journey with you, so, here it goes...

Trusting, waiting, typing, thanking...

Carole, our adoption caseworker, tells us we should be certified through the court system within the next few weeks. Things have been backed-up because of National Adoption Day. As far as we're concerned that's a GREAT reason to wait a little longer :)

Adoption certification means we can start applying for grants!

We trust the Lord to provide for this adoption financially. He's already doing so! ...

We wanted to say "thank you" to my sister Kristina, whose love for her brother and sister-in-law, as well as her desire for a baby niece or nephew, drove her to start an online fundraiser as a birthday gift to Emily. She's the reason for that box on the left :) Thank you, Sis!

Thank you to everyone who has given! Kristina reports that people we don't even know personally have donated! WOW! ... I'm rarely speechless but I just spent 15 minutes trying to type out a thank you that came close ... Nothing came close!

Our hearts are full! Thank you!

So, to sum-up; 1) A whole bunch of children were adopted in November (Woot!!) 2) We should be certified for adoption soon so we can officially start filling out grant applications. 3) My sis rocks! and 4) We have the best friends, family, and friends of family in the world!

Can't wait to introduce our son or daughter to you!! :)
