We have made contact with 2 of the agencies we sent our packets to. One in Utah and one in Florida. They have both asked us to send in an application in addition to everything else we had already sent. Today Andrew got the application for the Florida agency mailed off and once they receive it and approve us, we will officially be in the running (not sure if that's the proper terminology). We are so excited to get to this point!! We still have a to get a few copies of various documents together before we can send our application to Utah. Praying for patience and that we remember that God is in control and His timing is perfect.

A HUGE thank you to everyone who has supported us so far through prayer, donations, and buying shirts and totes. We can't tell you how grateful we are for all of you! 

T-Shirts and Totes!

We are selling t-shirts to help raise money for the adoption. I have to say, these are pretty sweet shirts, with an original design by the lovely and talented Sarah Thistlethwaite. Adult and youth sizes available with 4 colors to choose from. To order, or see how else you can help, please click on the "Fundraiser" tab above. We are asking that you pre-order and we will get the shirts to you once we have a few to order together. We are estimating around 2 weeks from time of order til we get the shirts or totes to you. We also have tote bags for sale with the same design. Thanks!

We got our adoption packets mailed out to two agencies today. Woohoo!!

Well, we had planned to drive down to Southern Oregon this weekend to meet that girl and her family, but we got a call today letting us know that she has found somebody there in her town whom she has chosen to raise her baby. To say we are disappointed is an understatement. But, we prayed that she would make the decision that is best for her and her baby, so hopefully that it the case. I know the adoption process is full of ups and downs, and this probably won't be our last disappointment, but we pray for God to give us strength and protect our hearts. And mostly to trust in His will and timing.

On the bright side we have received our profile books and copies of our home study and hope to get several of them sent off to different agencies this weekend. Thank you for your continued prayer and encouragement. Forward march.

Some (Possibly) Very Exciting News

Andrew got a call this morning from the woman who did our home study, letting us know that there is a girl that she knows of here in Oregon who is looking for a family to place her baby with. She is due July 19th, and will be looking at our profile book this Friday. We are asking for prayer that she will be able to make the decision that is best for her and her baby. This is going to be a long week of waiting to hear back. Please pray pray pray about this situation. We appreciate you guys so much!
