Friends, our hearts are bursting with joy to let you know that we received a call today from our adoption agency notifying us of a potential placement for adoption. A courageous mother bravely chose a plan of adoption for her child, and we are a match. After much fervent prayer, we have decided to accept this placement and we are moving forward! We can’t share all the details just yet, but we can share that it’s very possible that we could be welcoming a child into our family in the next week. While today’s call was met with excitement and joy, it was also met with the reality that the next week will certainly be challenging. There is so much to accomplish in the next seven days. Because we just moved across the state line into SC, there is more paperwork to be filled out, new medical exams that must be completed, background clearances to be checked, an additional home study to be done, preparations for the baby’s new nursery in our new house, and the completion of our fundraising. In light of these urgent needs, we are asking our friends and family for three things over the next seven days: 1. We desperately need your prayers. We did not expect this placement to come until at least another month or two. But God’s ways are not our ways! As most of you know, I'm leading the @ncbaptist Pastors' Conference this coming Sunday and Monday. Around the time the conference ends, we may be quickly out the door to be united with this child. Our hearts are full, but so are our plates. So please pray for us, that God would give us supernatural strength by His Holy Spirit to accomplish all that needs to be done in the next week. And most importantly, please pray for the incredible birth mom who has chosen this plan for her baby. Pray that God would shower her with the riches of His mercy and grace. 2. We are asking that if you feel led, that you make a financial contribution to our adoption process. By God’s grace, we have been able to raise a significant amount of money to cover adoption costs. But as you know, adoption is a very expensive process. So, we still have a ways to go. We know our God will supply all our needs, and we fully trust Him to do so. We are aiming to finish our fundraising in the next seven days. Would you prayerfully consider joining us by making a financial donation? 3. We are asking that you ‘like’ and ‘share’ this post, so many others can see it and hopefully be moved to pray, and if so led by the Lord, to support us financially. Today’s call was quite a shock! But in the best way possible 😊 . To even think that next week at this time we could be welcoming a new child into our family fills our hearts with so much love, happiness, and gratitude! Thank each of you for joining in our joy and supporting us so faithfully through this journey.
