Our Decision

Being parents and growing a family of our own has been the plan for a very long time.  But it wasn't until this year that we really started to explore the idea of adoption. Although Josh and I both came to this understanding at different times, we both feel that God is commanding us to go after something bigger than ourselves.  He's been working in us slowly and surely to open our eyes to the imminent needs in our world. I couldn't shake the feeling that God placed adoption on my heart, yet I kept doubting myself...not sure if it was just me, or if he was really speaking to me.  After a weekend of much needed quiet time with God, I felt his calling more than ever.  It would be a lie to say that I never dreamt about what a little boy may look like with Josh's blue eyes, but we are sure beyond doubt that this is the plan god intended for our family.  We are without a doubt that we do not need to have children who look like us in order to love them unconditionally as our own.  God has broken our hearts for the thousands of children near and far, who are waiting without a family to love them.
