Today is a big day for us.
One minute I'm scared and nervous.
The next minute I'm anxious and excited.
We got an email on Friday that our application and initial fee was received and we are approved to begin.
Last night I read the 18 page contract, initialing where needed and signing the end.
Today it was put in the mail with a large check that gets the ball rolling.
We've had many discussions about the country that we should adopt from and the gender(s) that we should choose. We've prayed about it and didn't feel like the "correct" options were slapping us in the face from the Lord.
Late Friday night I did a google search on photos of people from both countries. The photos of one stood out to me far more. It appears that the need is greater in one country than the other. Ninety percent of the photos ripped at my heart - to bring clean water to those people, to fill their bellies with wholesome foods, to rebuild their homes, to bring them peace and not fear. And so my heart was tugged.
I shared this with My Man and since he did not have stronger "tugs" to either country, it was decided.
We hope to bring home 2 little guys from C about this time next year, Lord willing.
Join us in prayer for this process and for those little guys!!
