Our adoption journey starts May
19, 2006, when we took our son Carson out to lunch after his
6-year old check-up to the doctor. We were sitting in Fazoli’s
discussing how we felt that our family was not quite complete.
After 2 difficult pregnancies, we were not sure we wanted to go
through another. Just then, a mother with two natural children
and an adopted daughter from China came into the restaurant. We
looked at each other and said, “We could do that!”
That was the first whisper from God that he had a plan for us.
In the coming weeks, his voice became louder and clearer and we
decided this is what we needed to do. We contacted our adoption
agency and started the process. The expected wait, at the time,
of 12-16 months seemed like a long time. Little did we know that
6 years would go by before we would get to meet our daughter.
Through all of our doubts and worries, we still felt that we
were doing the right thing. With the support of our family and
friends, we are so excited that it is time to finally receive
God’s blessing to our family! |
