The Gent and I are embarking on a special season of prayer, and we'd love for you to join us.
We've known for years that adoption and/or foster parenting are in our future. The topic came up on an early date way back when, and we've returned to it frequently since. We aren't sure what exactly this calling of the Lord will look like.
Foster parenting, domestic adoption, international adoption, older children, special needs, sibling groups? We're not sure yet. We know God has children already destined for our family. We are waiting on His direction.
How do we choose an agency, when should we start the process, can we afford it? Not sure on the first two. Yes, we can afford the children the Lord will bring us. Millions of people get by on much less. We are abundantly blessed.
Will we have the wisdom to know how to handle the difficulties that will certainly arise? We aren't under any illusions that this will be a piece of cake, but with God's help - absolutely yes.
For now we aren't taking any specific steps other than prayer. We feel the Lord is calling us to seek Him at this time, and we are trusting Him with the details.
We invite you to come and seek His direction with us.
What an exciting time in your lives - graduating law school, moving, beginning a new career (and ending one!), beginning your family. I can't wait to see what God's plans are for you and your family. We will be praying with you with eager anticipation! Love you both, Mom
