Our Journey Starts New

November 2011

For about a year and a half we have been praying that God would bless us with a child. We never imagined having any trouble pursuing this dream, but after a year of seemingly getting no where, we decided to start pursuing infertility treatment. Though we have not been told we cannot have children, the odds are not in our favor. This has been a very difficult journey, which has led us to start the adoption process. Adoption is something we had talked about even before we were married. Our desire is to be parents and raise children to teach them about our Savior, Jesus Christ. At times we wonder if it would have been easier to be told we are unable to have kids so that we could have started the adoption process sooner, but we know God’s timing is perfect, as is His plan for us. We are in the beginning stages of the adoption, we have finished reading the manual, and have started the Adoptive Planning Questionnaire. Once the APQ is finished we will apply for our Home Study. From there we will start working on our profile to be shown to potential birth mothers. We are very excited to have the opportunity to be blessed with a child, and know as hard or as scary and tough the process might be in the end God's will, will be done and we hope we are able to glorify him in every way.

Grieving loss

We were informed recently that the birth mother has decided to try and parent.  We are grieving this loss and determining next steps.  Will likely cancel our hotel and get back on the road tomorrow just not sure where yet.  Please keep us in your prayers as we are fighting back anger and a lot of other emotions.

    so sorry I know youre hearts are broke. I know God has reason but sometimes in pain its hard to see it. I wish I could convince her what a better life the child would have. I have seen it too often. They just dont get it.
