Adoption Fund= 100 PERCENT!!!!

Well, today's the day we've waited for for a LONG (long, long) time--our adoption fund is 100 percent funded! Our little house closed at 11:45 this morning, and we were able to transfer the funds immediately into our adoption account, bringing us to a grand total of OVER $30,000 available for our adoption. With this sale, the actual adoption costs as well as travel costs should be fully covered. We are so thankful that the Lord helped us pay off our little house early and also prevented us from selling it when we first moved out of it three years ago, as He had not yet called us to pursue adoption at that time. God's timing in prompting us to sell and in locating a buyer (just FIVE DAYS after listing it for sale) has been amazing as we're exactly at the point of needing our funds immediately upon getting a call for a placement.

Please pray with us in these coming days, weeks, months--???--we have no idea on a time frame, as we'll be in the presenting stage until we are matched with an expectant mom. Pray that we'll have patience and peace as we'll likely be presenting frequently. One big reason we chose to work with Christian Adoption Consultants is because they have contact with agencies across the country that have a great need for adoptive families. We have already had opportunity to present our family profile to several expectant mothers in just the past week, so your prayers are coveted as we wait to find out the child God would have for our family.

As you pray, please also join us in praying for the expectant moms who are choosing families to parent their children. Each time we receive information on an adoption situation, there is always a story. Always brokenness, pain, strained relationships, strongholds of addiction, or hopelessness. Please pray for these women who are making such a great choice for their babies to give them life and hope through adoption. Pray for people to come into their lives and share Christ's love and hope with them in the midst of their difficult life circumstances. Our hearts break reading these women's stories, and we pray they will find hope, grace, and freedom in Christ.

Thank you for partnering with us financially and in prayer on this adoption journey! We thank God for each of you!
