We have been praying for wisdom and what God wants our family to do. I was talking to someone about the hopelessness and abuse orphans face. They are just innocent children. I was also sharing with them that we are praying about adding a third child to our adoption and they said to me: "the tragedies that orphans face happens all over the world and this is not something new. Are you sure you should add another?" Yes, this does happen all over the world, unfortunately, but my response to them was: "this is true but our helping just one more child can make a difference!" We know this is not an easy decision. It is a decision that will affect our lives and the lives of our children. We will be a little more cramped for space, but no one said adoption was easy. Let's face it raising children is not easy, life is not easy, but the rewards are great!
We must all remember that our little, no matter how small, can make a difference! Our family is in this position by the grace of God and His help. We can not ignore that we have been approved for adopting up to three children. After filling out the paperwork and requesting approval for two children our paperwork came back with approval for three children. I was told if you put two on your form you will only be approved for two. Honestly, I meant to type 2-3 on the form, but when I rechecked the paperwork it said 2. So, in our position, we must take note and listen for God to speak to our hearts. We are approved to adopt three children! Our hearts are to take this step and bring home three children to be a part of our family. We are trusting God to work out all the details!
Please pray for us, as we are seeking wisdom and clear direction from God. We will be traveling to bring our children home in the next 3-5 weeks. We are still needing funds to complete this adoption process and additional funds to add child number three. God is faithful!!!!
Thank you for all of your support! Yes, we can all make a difference!
