So Much More

Before we even officially started the adoption process, this journey was about caring for orphans.  The Bible commands us over and over to care for the fatherless, of course many people choose to ignore this.  As we dove into the process of adoption it started to become so much more than caring for orphans.  It was about 2 more beautiful children that God created just to be a part of our family.  As this journey has continued God continues to reveal to us a much bigger picture than we could have ever imagined for this process.  It's about building close relationships and sharing the journey with other families in the same process.  It's about making others aware of the huge need in our world, over 147 million orphans, and there are so many simple ways to make a difference.  Most importantly, God has really taught us the importance of waiting on Him and trusting His timing and plan for our family.  This adoption is not about who will get their children first or trying to bring our children home as fast as we can.  It's about waiting on Him and trusting His plan for us, even through bumps that seem as huge as mountains some days.
