Adoption News!

Sunday, August 25, 2013



When we started this adoption journey we knew that there were no guarantees.  We knew it would probably be a long road with many ups and downs.  We knew that God was writing this story and we needed to simply sit back and let His will unfold. 

We hit some major road blocks in last fall while we were completing our paperwork to adopt “E”.  It was a hard season.  We questioned whether it was our time to adopt.  We prayed a lot and trusted God would guide us through this crazy journey.   And he has…

We are so sad to announce that we will no longer be adopting “E.”  God has clearly closed the door.  Over the last several months of waiting and praying, God has lead our family down a different path.  It has been a process that has come with heartache and disappointment.  However, we know that our God is faithful and has called us to adopt and so we are going to continue to put our trust in His plans. 

We are THRILLED to announce we are now pursuing a domestic adoption here in the US.   Since jumping in to the adoption community, we’ve come to learn there is a HUGE need for minority adoption here in the US! 

Thankfully, all of the money we have raised will be used directly towards our domestic adoption expenses that will cost between $25,000-$30,000. 

We are so excited to continue this journey and bring home baby Braly.  We are appreciative for your continued support and prayers over the next several months. 

We have a t-shirt fundraiser starting in TOMORROW.  Stay tuned for details!!

Created for Care!!

Tuesday, January 22, 2013


I am beyond excited to be attending Created for Care this weekend!!  Friday morning, a bunch of sweet friends and I are piling in a van and heading to Georgia for the weekend!   Created for Care is a women’s retreat for women who have adopted or are in the orphan care/adoption/foster care process.  The weekend is full of breakout sessions to equip families for adoption as well as a weekend that focuses on rest and worship.   To say I am excited is an understatement!
