Michelle and I want to share some wonderful news with you. As you may know, we do not have children and have considered adoption throughout the years. In recent months we've decided to not pursue an adoption through an agency, but rather give our situation to God and accept his will for our lives - whether that would be our own biological child, receive a child through a private adoption, or remain childless. We purposed in our hearts that if God blessed us with a child then we would know it was truly a gift from him, and not through our own efforts.
Well, in the past few weeks, God has answered! Through a series of events we were contacted, out of the blue, by a father whose teenage daughter is pregnant. This young woman decided to place her unborn son up for adoption and contacted us. This family knew of us through a person in our church, but we knew nothing about them. After phone conversations and a meeting with this family, we have joyfully agreed to adopt this child as ours. The due date for our son is April 13th.
There is so much to this story that I will one day share in more detail, but we wanted our cyberspace community to know our wonderful news. We appreciate your prayers because this has happened so quickly and there is much to do by April. We are so humbled by God's gracious gift to us. He truly has provided for us!
