We Are Adopting!


we have big news! now that all those most dear to our hearts have officially been informed, we can let  y'all in on our little news as well. WE ARE ADOPTING!

i don't think we could possibly be more excited than we are, except for when we get to meet that sweet, little baby. we are adopting domestically and have just finished all of our initial application paperwork, background check paperwork, etc. and once all that goes through will start our homestudy. 

we are just so excited for the opportunities to share the gospel of adoption. our church tweeted earlier this week "we care for orphans not because we are rescuers. we care for orphans because we are the rescued." and that's it. plain and simple. so we do covet your prayers for wisdom and peace during this process. and for money (your prayers that it will be provided...not me asking your for your money...ha!)! i actually am working on getting an etsy shop up to help raise some money, so i'll have more details on that later. 

and of course we'll update here as things go along.
