Our Journey
Just wanted to post a quick update about where we are at with our adoption process. We have been working on some financial issues and have a plan set in motion to get those things taken care of and a deadline to submit our initial application for the end of July... so by August... we WILL be mailing in our initial application to Children of All Nations!!! I know, both Darren and I are excited and nervous all at the same time... this journey get's more and more real as time goes by. We would ask for prayer cover these next couple of months that we would remain steadfast in diligence with our written budget... and prayers of blessings and God's favor over the application we will begin to complete...

Update
I guess it's going to be a normal situation to have people ask, "how are things going with the adoption." I feel like we are at a snail's pace, with not much to report... It's a blessing to know that so many people care and pray for us as we slowly move forward toward gaining our dream of parenthood.
We have just decided that part of this journey for us is going to be a bit more financial freedom. We have some debts that we want & need to dig out from underneath, and feel that doing this is part of our first initial step in this process. We will, for the next few months, be working hard and diligent toward cleaning up some old debts and putting money into our savings account. Until we feel more secure in this area, we are going to hold off filing out the adoption application. Although this makes both of us a bit sad, we feel this is the right step to take. We are focusing on trusting that God will honor us by the way we are attempting to honor Him with being more responsible with the resources He has entrusted us with. We know this will put us back a few months, but really feel this is a very vital and important part of this journey for us personally. We would ask for prayer cover during this time to make wise decisions and that we would not be discouraged.

Easter Egg Hunt!!
Yesterday Darren and I had the extreme joy and pleasure to participate in a very simple tradition... an Easter Egg hunt !!! (THANK YOU Tania and Dana!!)
We hid some Easter Egg's outback at our house for Olivia and Meghan to find... we look forward to the day we begin to celebrate these small, but joy-filled traditions with our own child...or children!
Sometimes the smallest and simple things... hold the most special memories!!!

trusting.....
We are still in the process of the initial application for our adoption... and working through a few financial decisions as part of our first step... We would really appreciate prayer cover for a deep and supernatural trust in the Lord plan and guidance. We are feeling a bit discouraged, even at this early stage.

Today's News
Hello Friends...
We are still at the decision stage... trying to decide between the four agencies we've narrowed our search down to... hoping by the end of this upcoming weekend, we will have made our choice...
My awesome sister, Tania has arranged a 'fund raiser' for us. She set up an account at Presque Isle Redemption (at the corner of the Washburn Road in Presque Isle). Anyone wanting to invest in our adoption can return their bottles/cans there and have the money go into our account there.
We would covet your ongoing prayers for us as we continue in the very early stages of this journey... we have many changes coming and big decisions to make. We need much wisdom!! We did have the chance to keep Meghan, Olivia & Riley (our nieces- 6,3 & 7) this weekend... great practice!!! What a blessing it was to have the girls!! They filled our home with great love, laughter, silliness and a bit of 'tattle-taleing'... but that comes with the blessing of children right!!??
