Here We Go Again...

Here we go again...in just a few hours an adoption case worker will be visiting our home. We will drop off Gage at school, put the dogs in the master bathroom, make sure the house looks okay...hopefully all in time for our 9 a.m. appointment with Raleesha. She is going to finalize our reassessment for becoming approved with OKDHS to adopt.

We have taken this journey before - one that had many twists and turns and not just a tear or two. It can be a gut-wrenching process sometimes to walk this path toward adopting - it's even tougher for kids though whose little hearts are made whole or broken by decisions of others:

*"Will someone want me?"
*"Will I have a forever family?"
*"Why do I have to move again?"
*"Who are these people and what are their rules?"

Please pray for us, me, Ali, and Gage, as well as the child God intends to bring into our home. Gage so wants to be a big brother and we want to give our last name to another child...and embrace them with our lives and love. This is orphan-care-evangelism: Bringing an orphan into our little family (providing a temporal home) believing that in doing so God will bring this child into His family (providing an eternal home).

So, hopefully by sometime early 2012 you'll see another precious child with us. Will you pray with us?

Thanks
