Our life was changed forever by a baby boy 8 years ago in March. When I held that 11 month old for the first time and his big black eyes met mine it was love at first sight. I have often wondered what life would have been like without him. God is good

For all who are led by the Spirit of God are children of God. So you have not received a spirit that makes you fearful slaves. Instead, you received God's Spirit when he adopted you as his own children. Now we call him, "Abba, Father." For his Spirit joins with our spirit to affirm that we are God's children. Galatians 4:4-6 Adoption. Lately, that word has become very special to me. As I have studied the Bible, God has been revealing to me my adoption in Him. Not only did He make me but He chose me by adoption to be His daughter – one of the great marvels of my God. He rescued me from certain death and separation from Him forever. He reached down to me in all my wickedness and selfishness and brought me into the righteousness of His dear Son, Jesus. I am not sure where my life would be if He had left me to my own devices. Praise His name. He called to me and in the words of a dear friend, “dragged me to Him.” And anyone who welcomes a little child like this on my behalf is welcoming me. Matthew 18:5 God has saved and called Nathan and I to do the same. We are pursuing adoption in the depraved country of Haiti. This is not going to be a quick and easy process. It is very costly. It is very time consuming. It is very emotional. But, it is a total surrender to our Father and complete obedience to Him. We couldn’t be happier. We are all in. We are asking for prayer warriors as we begin this long but exciting process. We have always said, “If God has called us to it, He will equip us to do it.” We have faith that God is working good through all this and will provide and sustain us through all the unknowns. In the coming months (or years, as there is uncertainty in the length of this process), we will be sharing our adventure and opening up the option for others to play a part with us through prayer, finances, or other creative ways. Stay tuned…. [Image]
