Well, I had a blog a few years ago but it was so horribly neglected that I couldn't even find it out there in cyberspace. So, here I am with a new one! I am definitely a beginner with all of this but have wanted to start blogging for a couple of reasons. First, Daniel and I have a lot of family that lives all around the US. I am seriously terrible at keeping in touch...my family and friends love to point this out to me. Second, we are taking a step of faith in a new chapter of our lives and I wanted to be able to share about our journey.
We are adopting! Daniel and I have always had the desire to adopt. Over the last year, the Lord has revealed to us so much about his desire for his children to care for orphans. Not everyone is called to adopt, but all Christians are called to care for orphans in some way. Daniel and I began to seriously pray about adopting after attending an adoption conference this past February, called Adopted For Life. We took the leap of faith this past July and received the first set of paperwork in the mail. It took us a while to get that turned back in and in September we were notified that we were approved to move on to the second phase of the application process. We attended a required adoption informational meeting in the end of September and are currently working on finishing up the application process so we can begin our home study! We are so very excited to see where God is going to lead us on this journey. I have so much more to write but I really didn't intend to start this tonight...I just got inspired after looking at a few blogs. I am determined to keep this blog going; however, so over the next few posts I'll give all the details about our journey thus far.
