As many of you know, we have been waiting for a little one from China. Due to numerous issues in China, our wait time has increased tremendously. As we prayed about what we were to do "in the meantime" we thought about additional fertility measures, but felt lead to adoption and knew that's where our heart is. So...we are very excited to say that we are in the process of adopting a little boy from India! He will be from an orphanage in Calcutta. With international adoption, we never know how long it will take, but the "timeline" projected is traveling to India sometime the beginning of next year. Please pray as we walk out this process. Our prayer is that paperwork would go smoothly and quickly. We want as much time in between the India and China adoption as possible. Thank you all for walking out this process with us. Please pray for our children...God is the father to the fatherless and he sets the lonely in a homeland (Ps. 68). Please pray that God will be their comforter and protector during this time when we would love to have them home with us. Great video of HOPE
My Sweet Children
As a girl I had a common dream, to be a mom someday. My baby would have eyes of blue and hair the hue of hay.
But now my dreams have been transformed. New visions fill my head. Now the tresses that I long to stroke are raven black instead.
And in my dreams those eyes are not so big or blue or round. Now in my dreams they’re almond shaped and colored cocoa brown.
And in my dreams my arms can stretch across enormous seas. They reach half-way around the world and hold you close to me.
As you grow in your mother’s womb, carefully knit together, you’re also growing in my heart, where you will stay forever.
And in my dreams the moment that your mother says good-bye, I’ll be right there to comfort you and hold you as you cry.
Our features may not look alike; we’re different as can be. But still I know the Father has created you for me. And though I’ve not yet seen your face, or held your tiny hands, and though we’re half a world apart in very different lands. I’ll be right there to get you just as soon as God allows. But ‘til He says the time is right I give to you this vow. I’ll pray for your protection every night on bended knee. For God will hold you in His arms, until you’re here with me.
