We've heard a lot of question. Here's our attempt to answer a few of them briefly.is it a girl? It has been rather comical to us all the comments that either we need a girl (you need a princess) or the warning to not get a girl (soon that princess will be 16). We are waiting to see who needs a home, and how God is going to direct ours and our future child's paths.
what agency are you using? We are using a Christian agency YWAM, that Marjorie went on a mission trip with last year. She saw the orphanages that our child may be coming from. Marjorie did not identify any specific child on that trip to adopt in case you were wondering. YWAM has Children's House International do the legal paperwork for the adoptions so we will also be working with them. Catholic Charities in PA will be doing our homestudy.
so what next? We have completed our applications for YWAM and CHI. We have been accepted into their programs. Now we have to complete our homestudy and do a whole bunch of paperwork....We also have a good bit of our fees to pay in the next few months...
why should I keep checking the blog?
-We are asking for your prayers. Since we are imperfect people trying to be obedient to His calling, we need them lots! Keep in touch so you know what you can be praying for.
-We want to share with you how we see God moving in this process. We have watched other friends adopt and seen how God has moved "insurmountable" mountains. We believe that God loves adoption because He is in the business of redemption/redeeming/making right.
-We hope to do some fundraising projects and we want to keep you informed about them.
We really can't stress enough....keep checking in here. Tell others about what's going on...even if we don't know them. Sign up on the right to get instant e-mail updates or RSS feed updates.
