WE ARE ADOPTING!

 

 

We are confident that the Lord has called us to grow our family through adoption and will be adopting an infant through private domestic adoption. With much thought, prayer and wise counsel we feel at peace with this decision. Once we chose to pursue this journey we have felt the Lord guiding us through each and every step of the way.

Adoption has been stirring in our hearts the past year and a half and after receiving the news of not being able to concieve a child together, we started taking a deeper look into this path. One of the reasons we love adoption is that is reflects the heart of God and the story of his plan for his people. “God destined us for adoption as his children through Jesus Christ according to the good pleasure of His will.” Ephesians 1:5. We are stepping out in faith to follow God's call and are eager to do everything we can to welcome this sweet baby God has for us into our home.

We are so excited (and of course a bit nervous, terrified, grateful, stressed and all the emotions) as there are many unknowns on this journey as well. We have never smiled and cried like we have the past few weeks. We would love your prayers and support, as we know God is working out so many details, mostly details we cannot see. 

There are a few ways you can support us on our journey:

1. Giving. The cost alone of adoption is one of the many reasons embarking on this journey can be very overwhelming. If you feel called to give we would be so appreciate as our adoption could total up anywhere from 30k to 50k. We have been working with an amazing adoption consultant and plan to hold some fun fundraisers in the future as well!

2.  If you are unable to give, would you please share our story? The decision to share our story was not an easy one. We want to bring awareness to Dustin's rare diagnosis and help others know they are not alone.

3.  Prayer!! We are very aware that this could be a lengthy and at times difficult process and we need all your prayers and support. We are asking for prayers for our future baby, expectant mother and us. 

We are over-the-moon excited to share this news and we want to share our journey with you throughout the months ahead. We hope to shine light on the adoption process and maybe even bring hope to a family that has felt the calling themselves. Thank you all for your support and prayers since first sharing our journey to becoming parents. We have already been encouraged and loved on by so many and we can't wait to bring you along on this incredible adventure!
