I started thinking, I suppose I should probably tell the story of our adoption. As you can tell I am a beginner at this blogging stuff. Most of you probably know it already, but for those who don't, I will tell it.
Well it was a work of God from the beginning! We decided to adopt from Ethiopia around April of 2008. Our application was accepted and got our paper work in May. We then felt we should not go further with the adoption until our house, that was still for sale after we moved, and in a very bad housing market, had sold. In August we heard about 2 boys who were adopted from Ethiopia 8 months prior, and they were the ages we were looking to adopt, they were going to be disrupted (given for adoption again). Eric and I pray, and asked God for His guidance. We knew while this seemed meant for us right away, that we wanted peace from God that this was truly His will for all involved. Once we got that PEACE things moved very quickly for us and the boys moved in with us August, 23rd. We were amazed at how God had brought them into our lives and how quickly they adjusted, they fit right into our family. Not to say we didn't have some struggles, but all in all, things went better then we could have expected. Thanks to all the prayers of family and friends, for I know with out a doubt, prayer changes things! We could not have picked better boys for our family!( well that's obvious, after all God does knows what He's doing! ) Our house did finally sell and God worked it to just in time for us to pay the adoption attorney fees.He had everything under control. They officially became our boys on Dec. 29th!!! Our cup runnith over!!
We ask for you to continue to keep us in your prayers, for without a doubt there will be struggles. We praise God for His continued guidance and presence in our lives, no good comes from us except by Him!!
