Introduction

Welcome to our blog! 

Paul and I are so excited to officially announce that we are adopting from Uganda, Africa! We always knew we would do this, but never anticipated it would be this soon! Life has unexpected ways of surprising you, and we could not be more excited to begin our family through adoption.

We have decided to start a blog for a few reasons. The first being so our friends and family can follow along with us on this journey, and know how to pray and support us during this time. Second, so others going through the adoption process will have a common place to share, learn and support one another. Third, so people can stay apprised of our upcoming events! This has already been a very humbling experience and we've learned that without the love and support of our friends and family we would not be able to bring these little ones home.

We started the research for our adoption over a year ago, but have been pursuing agencies since February of this year. In June we got down to business, and actively began the lengthy paperwork process of completing our home study and dossier. We have already hit many roadblocks, and while there are still many variables up in the air, we are continuing to move forward. God has already shown us the need to trust and rely on Him through this process, and we are learning to let Him carry our worries and fears as we enter these uncharted waters. 

We ask that you partner with us during this time and continue to remind us of the goal set before us. We know this is going to be a crazy, emotional process, but when we have those kiddos in our arms every minute of difficulty will have been worth it. At this time we are pursuing to adopt 2 siblings, ages 6 and under and we are open to some medical need. We pray daily for the lives of our children and we know God will be with them (and us!) during this time of waiting.

Thank you all in advance for your love, support and encouragement; we couldn't do it without you! Here's to the start of something wonderful!
