Lifted Out Of The Water

My wonderful co-workers have put their efforts together to make these wonderful hot packs/bed buddies. They are being sold for a donation of $20 towards our adoption fund. Please contact me or Kingsview Christian School if you are interested in purchasing one! They would make a wonderful Christmas gift! Bed Buddies include hot pack and slip cover (in a variety of fabrics)

We can see it! The finish line is not too far away. We have officially finished our home study and are only 3 documents aways from finishing our dossier. We feel so grateful for the smooth journey thus far and cannot thank God enough for His blessings throughout this process. We have thoroughly enjoyed working with AWAA and adore both our social worker and family coordinator. We appreciate all of you who have been praying for us!

Justin once told a quote that stated: "Life is like riding a bull. You are never truly ready...it just gets to be your turn."

He is so good! We feel unbelievably blessed to serve Him in this way. So ready or not, we have officially begun the adoption process. We have been accepted into the India program with America World Adoption Association and just mailed off our first set of papers. Next step: dossier and home study. Which is literally a stack of papers for us to complete and have approved. Please pray for us as we start our "paper pregnancy".....no morning sickness please! Justin's turn...
