APPROVED!!!

Thursday, September 24, 2015




We have had an incredible week!! We are still overwhelmed by the love, support and encouragement that we received last weekend through our garage sale.  We are so blessed to be a part of such a wonderful community of friends and family who spent their weekend helping us prepare for our biggest fundraiser thus far to bring home baby L!! We are grateful to everyone who donated furniture, clothing, and so much more towards the garage sale!! The Lord is so good!  We had a big goal to raise $4,000, but we serve an even bigger God! Not only did we reach that goal but we surpassed it!!! 



As some may recall, our Home Study was initially scheduled for last Monday, but due to circumstances, our Agency had to reschedule it for this past Monday.  We are thrilled to announce that we are working with Chosen Child Adoption Agency in Dallas and as of today, we have been OFFICIALLY APPROVED!!!!! We decided to go out to dinner to celebrate at the fanciest restaurant in Lindale, Leo's Asian Bistro! :)




What are the next steps?
We are currently working on our profile book.  This is a scrapbook of the two of us, full of pictures and letters to Baby L's birth mother.  Our Agency will be able to present this book to the birth mothers they are working with for them to look through and pray about who they wish to be their child's adoptive parents.  
We will also be working on getting CPR certified as well as getting some other training hours.  

How you can pray?
Please continue to pray for Baby L's birth family as they are making the difficult decision to place their child for adoption.  Please pray for Baby L's birth mother, that she will find peace and comfort in her decision and that she will feel loved and supported.
We would also love your prayers as we continue to work on our profile book.  We want to put so much love and thought into this book as it's purpose is to show Baby L's birth family who we are and why we would make great parents for their child.
