On August 20, 2009 God changed our lives by giving us a beautiful little girl. Lydia was born with Zellweger Syndrome, a genetic disorder that has no cure. This is the story of her life, and our dealings with the God who created her and who is daily drawing us closer to Himself. Thank you for your love and support for our family.
Our background check cleared! We've been waiting since the end of March and now it is done which means we are officially a waiting family! We got the first copy of our profile book last week and have several more ordered.
When our social worker called, she asked if we could send our one book down to an adoption agency in Oklahoma. There's a woman whose baby is due at the end of June/beginning of July and she is looking to have a Christian couple adopt her baby. We have no details about who she is, anything about the baby or how many other couples she is considering.
We know that this is the first time anyone is looking at our book and it's likely that we will not be selected and will have to go through this whole roller-coaster process again. So...we're not getting our hopes up. We're NOT getting our hopes up.
We're getting our hopes up a little.

ReplyDeleteI love you!
ReplyDeletePraying that the roller coaster ride doesn't have too many lows and that it is a quick ride.
ReplyDeletePraying for God to protect your hearts while you wait, for the perfect provision, and for joy in the journey. Not to mention the peace that passes all understanding and all natural ability.
ReplyDeleteGet your hopes up! Get your hopes up! Yes it is a risk- you might get disappointed-but it is worth it. Don't let the fear stop you from all the good life still waiting to be lived and felt- somewhere out there is a baby-your baby-so get your hopes up. There is nothing better to have your hopes up for!
ReplyDeleteI'm sorry I didn't respond sooner... I did read though... oh wow. This is so awesome for you guys! Even if this one doesn't work out, the hope and the opportunity. Yes prayers are coming your way!!
