Our Anniversary

Good morning, friends! I just wanted to stop here and say what a wonderful 8 years it has been since we've wed! Our journey so far has been nothing short of amazing. We've learned and grown so much together! God gave us each other and we're so blessed by Him each day. Through trials & triumphs, heartache & victory, tears & laughter we make each day successful.
We're so looking forward to the rest of this journey He has planned for our lives!
God bless you!
Happy Anniversary, husband, I love you!

An update & prayer request from Chris

I wanted to update everyone on our adoption process. Our home study is complete, he has given us the green light that he fully intends on recommending to the court that we are fit to be parents without any apprehensions. We also found out through a friend of a young mother that is going to have to seek adoption. Our friend is going to give her our information. Please pray for her for God to give her wisdom and if it is God's will, that we will be shown very clearly that this is our baby. Many of asked questions and some have stated they weren't sure what to ask or if it is ok to ask, so I thought I would share with everyone what are thoughts are. Since we fully believe that God has given us our journey, and one part of the journey is we feel very strongly that we are purposed to help a mother in desperation, and for that reason we are not going through an agency. We are looking for that special person, through our efforts and our friends and family and for that reason we are very public about what we are doing. If you have questions about what we are doing please ask, if you have a lead of a potential mother/child please give them our information. We welcome any encouraging thoughts and success stories. The only thing we ask is for the stories to be positive. One question we get asked a lot is, how long does the process take. The answer to that question is as long as it takes for God to prepare us and a birth mother. We of course would like the process to already be complete, but we do know that the time will come, when the time is right. One final thought, keep us in your prayers, because while we know the timing is going to be the perfect time, sometimes we need to be reminded of that.
