Just a quick update...our forms and photo books are all completed. But we are choosing to be "on hold" for a bit, as we work on the financial side of things. We have been working do to the "Dave Ramesy" thing for several years now...we are in a good position and all, but we feel the need to continue at it for a bit longer before we jump into adoption. We need to purchase a bigger vehicle, and we'd like to pay cash, as to not gain a car payment again...its been nice to not have had one for several years now. Our mini van is just nearing 100,000 miles and we need more seating! While it is disappointing to be on hold, we trust that this is a wise move in the long run and for the best for our family. Lord willing, it will be only a matter of a few months before we feel we can precede again.
If you would like to pray for us, please pray that we will be diligent in saving up and fundraising for the adoption and that God would continue to grant us much wisdom and direction.
Thanks so much! We know He will provide in His timing.
Love,
Our Family
Hey Joy! I just stumbled on this part of your blog and am excited for you guys! We, too, are praying about jumping into the adoption arena soon. We have talked about it for as long as we've been married, since Eric was adopted. It has always been an important and special part of his life, and we are both grateful for the loving, Christian upbringing he had. :) We can't wait until the Lord gives us the "go-ahead" to adopt a precious child! Praying with you in this journey - and I look forward to reading about your process since you are a few steps ahead of us. :)
