Announcing.....

Several months ago the Lord began strongly placing foster care and adoption on our hearts. It actually started way before then, and you can read my novel about it here.

For those who don’t want our life stories, we will give a short summary.

We have been praying for years about how and when to grow our family. We decided to become licensed respite providers (to temporarily care for foster children from other foster homes) in October of 2012 to begin introducing children in the foster care system into our home. In January of this year we did respite for 3 precious little girls who needed a mommy and a daddy. They had no hope of returning to their biological family, and no families interested in adopting them. We cared for them for a few days and, although it was never in our plans and didn’t seem to make sense at first, after much prayer we were positive that the Lord was asking us to say yes to them.

This week we welcomed home our 3 daughters. They are 7 year old twins and their 8 year old sister. We cannot post photos of them on the internet due to the legal status of their case, but rest assured…..they are perfect! We will foster them for 6 or more months, depending on how the case goes, and then adopt. We are humbled, excited, in love, and beside ourselves with awe and thankfulness at how the Lord has shaped our journey. Friends and family, we cannot WAIT for you to meet our babies.
