Our Journey

Our adoption journey began in October of 2007. Adoption was something Stan and I had always talked about. There have been many different things that have happened to lead up to our decision to adopt including a serious of sermons in church on being adopted children of God, morning devotional, advertisement of an informational meeting at Bethany and the list goes on. We had talked about waiting a few years to adopt however the Lord was tucking at our hearts to adopt now.

Our home study has been approved and we are officially waiting. As the busy time for Stan and I winds down into summer we both find ourselves thinking about this a lot! Wondering when will we get the "call"? How will Keegan and Aiden adjust? We have to put our trust in the Lord that His timing is perfect and everything will work out. We pray each night for the child that will one day enter our lives and for the birth mother who has a very hard decision to make. One night while praying with Keegan before bed, Stan forgot to pray for the baby. At the end of the prayer Keegan said, "Dad you forgot about the baby!" Keegan is more intrigued than Aiden and has a little better understanding of what is to come. They are both very excited as are we!

Till next time...........
