This past Tuesday night Shaun and I got the opportunity to attend Lifeline's Annual fundraising gala. My parents actually bought a table at the event so they invited Shaun and I, Alli and Korey, my aunt and uncle and another couple that they are good friends with. Lifeline staff did an excellent job and dinner was very yummy. We hope that we will be able to attend this banquet every year. Who knows, maybe next year we will be attending it with our newly adopted little one.
Shaun and I were especially excited that my parents where there and got the opportunity to learn more about adoption and just what an amazing ministry it truly is. They both come from a time when all adoptions where closed and very hush-hush. International adoption wasn't even heard of, and open adoptions where just crazy. It was a great chance for them to both really see where Shaun and mine's hearts have been this whole time, and I think they they both left with a better understanding of why Shaun and I have chosen to follow God's plan for us and grow our family through adoption.
