Coming Soon to Our House...

...a whole lot of pink!!!! We are so excited to announce that we are planning to adopt a baby girl, due to be born in March. There are several hurdles still to cross but so far all signals say GO so that's what we are doing! I posted a few weeks ago about "Breaking the Silence" this road of infertility has been an incredible journey. We have come to rest securely, trusting God's plan for our family.

A few ways you can pray for us over the next several months:

1. Pray for Bob and me as we prepare our hearts and home to parent this little one.

2. Pray for the birth mother. This is a courageous --and most difficult--decision she has made--to give her child life and hope for a future. Pray for her to experience God's strength and comfort during this time. Pray that she will come to know Jesus as her personal Friend and Savior.

3. Pray for our baby girl.

4. Pray for us as we work through all the overwhelming legal and financial details.

We are humbled and delighted to have this opportunity.
