We’re using Bethany Christian Services. They have a local office in our town which we love. It saves us on having to mail things and we can pop in whenever we have a question. They’ve been really great about our pregnancy. They couldn’t be happier for us! Their policy is that we have to wait until the baby is atleast 6 months old before we can introduce a new member into the family. With the timing of everything, most likely we won’t run into a problem. We can pause if we need to to meet this requirement.

What agency are you using? We got pregnant in the process of adopting and had to wait and start all over again.

I just love this post! My husband have 3 biological children and are being called to adoption. Not everyone in our midst understands our desire to follow after God in this task, but we know what we know…and that is that God wants to expand our family through adoption. Thanks for sharing your heart…it made my heart smile today.

When we make the choice to follow our Lord and His whisperings in our heart, we will be thought of as crazy. In this day when the remnant seems to be growing smaller, God will demand a great deal out of them. Like you mentioned, Abraham and the test God placed before him. Many times, we are tested to prove our faith. This life on earth is about proving us, not God, because He already did that with creation and the cross. In the years of walking with Christ, the stories being told from those who desire to please God alone has astonished on lookers and always will. Like in the account of Pilgrim’s Progress, we keep walking towards our eternal reward keeping our eyes on it. The blessings here are just a bonus to help us remember His grace. We make request of God not because of our righteousness but because of His grace. God bless you and yours and keep walking the narrow path.

Thank you Marci! It’s the truth! We’ll be radically obedient, even if it means weird looks

Hi Stacey! So glad you found this encouraging. I set up the donate button through Paypal. When we are finished with our homestudy, we will be working with an adoption fund that will help us accept donations that are tax-deductible. I thought the paypal button was worth a try though
