We Are Adopting!

Shaun and I are so excited about how God has been working in our lives and in our hearts over these last few years. And a huge part of that has been His call to adoption. For Shaun and I adoption has always been something that we wanted to do at some point in our lives, but what was something we wanted to do became something God was calling us to do. And above all we desire to be obedient. What are we but adopted children of Christ? 

We are going through Lifeline Adoption agency located here in Birmingham. Our social worker is great and she has made us feel so comfortable with everything. So far things have moved smoothly. We had our preliminary interviews already and our home study is scheduled for the morning of April 16th. I am really nervous about our home study, but our social worker was very reassuring that they are NOT looking for reasons to fail us. They simply are checking for safety, how Shaun and I interact with each other and with our children. Lets hope our children aren't having some kind of break down that morning! 

Shaun and I are scared and nervous. We are anxious and excited. We are faithful....our prayer is that we remain obedient to what God wants from us; what He is calling us to do. Our faith is bigger than our fears, and believe me our fears are BIG. Please pray with us as we journey down this long and unpredictable road. We are so excited to see the many ways that God revels Himself to us through this process. 

Dear children, let us not love with words or tongue but with actions and in truth. 

I John 3:18
