The Beginning of this Journey...

The Lord began this journey towards our second adoption about 1 year ago. He put on our hearts to sponsor Kay - at Harmony Outreach and we did. When i first saw her, i fell in love with her and prayed for her to join our family. It wasn't until May 2008 that the Lord began to use her to open our hearts to adoption again. That was when we had John Bentley from Harmony Outreach (her foster program) staying with us and he told us that Kay was ready to be adopted internationally. We prayed about her and began the adoption process again. Unfortunately, it wasn't in God's plan for her to join our family but He did use her to open our hearts up to adoption again and we are excited to see where He takes us. We are Trusting in Him.

The Lord has brought Maylynn into our lives and hearts on Nov. 21st (that is when we received her referral). We are excited to see Him bring her home to us. Please pray for the rest of our journey. We can't wait to bring Maylynn home...

Another Praise!

We have been diligently applying and praying for grants. We just found out that Ibsen Adoption Network has given us a grant - we are so thankful and are praising God for being so faithful!!

Please visit their website if you'd like to join their mailing list or just see what a great organization Ibsen is for Washington residents!

Maylynn is so cute! I'm so excited for you guys.
BTW...some people from our orphan care team at our church will be at the orphan summit in Texas, too. Phil went last year and said it was great. I'm looking forward to reading your other blogs to catch up. I see you went to China! fun, fun. Phil has got a project going on in Chongqing now. He will be back there again in Sept. I want to go soooo badly, but Kate can't handle me being gone that long and I don't know if I am brave enough to take them both! Love to all,
Jennifer Chambers
