Okay, we're very sad to say that we've had to place our adoption on hold once again. But very pleased to say that it's because the Lord has chosen to bless us with a child of our very own instead! We are NOT foregoing the adoption altogether! But we had to make a decision that was the most financially sound and we agreed that it would be a wiser decision to place a hold on the adoption right now and pick it back up after the baby is here. By no means do we mean to stop the process at all! We're far too invested (spiritually, financially, and emotionally), so we're just delaying it a bit longer.
Thank you for all your support over the years and we hope you will join us in celebrating our newest blessing!

'Religion that God our Father accepts as pure and faultless is this: to look after orphans and widows in their distress and to keep oneself from being polluted by the world." James 1:27
2 Samuel 7:18-29
"Who am I, O Sovereign Lord, and what is my family, that you have brought me this far? And as if this were not enough in your sight, O Sovereign Lord, you have also spoken about the future of the house of your servant. Is this your usual way of dealing with man, O Sovereign Lord? And now, Lord God, keep forever the promise you have made concerning your servant and his house. Do as you promised, so that your name will be great forever. O Sovereign Lord, you are God! Your words are trustworthy, and you have promised these good things to your servant. Now be pleased to bless the house of your servant, that it may continue forever in your sight; for you, O Sovereign Lord, have spoken, and with your blessing the house of your servant will be blessed forever."
