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...

Patience...

We are trying really, really hard to be patient. We know that God's timing is perfect but we'd really like to know what that is :) We have been waiting 70 days now for our LOA. Timing for this step in the process varies from 30-90 days. Our China liason mentioned last week that we should be hearing something this week. So please pray for us!

Oh Kirsten...I will be praying for you. We are still so at the beginning phase...so I can't imagine the intensity of your exciting feelings...I feel like I have to subdue mine all the time as things are such a long way off for us. Thanks for sharing your progress and pics...
