Barnes Adoption Journey

The time has finally come and we are so excited to pursue domestic infant adoption! We have earnestly prayed for the Lord's guidance in how to grow our family and believe He is guiding us through this journey. Time and again God has shown us the blessings of saying "YES!" to His will and we ask you to join us in whatever way you feel able, willing, and guided to. 
 

1) Pray for us - We are beginning  a journey that can be long and full of ups and downs as we follow the Lord's command (James 1:27).  We pray for His courage, wisdom, and endurance as He walks alongside us.

2) Pray for our birth mother - We don't know her yet, but we pray for God's hand in her life as she also walks through this journey. 

3) Donate to the following link. This donation goes directly to our adoption with our adoption agency (Nightlight Christian Adoptions). 
If unable to make a donation, but you still want to contribute please spread the word by sharing this post. 

4) We are starting a gently used shoe drive in Amarillo and Abilene! We are so excited to start our shoe drive starting tomorrow through May 12. Please take advantage of spring break to do some spring cleaning and donate your gently used shoes of any size and type (Mens, women's, or children) to any of the following locations in Amarillo. 

Soda Jerks

Purposeful Play Busy Bags

Shear Elegance 

Family Life Church 

You can also contact Zach or me to donate. If you would like to help us out and be another collection site please let me know and I will get the materials you need. 
 

We are so excited to begin this next chapter of our walk with the Lord and can't wait to update you along the way!
