Decision

Matt and I have decided not to change our preferences, after much prayer and consideration. This might mean that we will not be picked before the end of this year, but we feel a tremendous peace about it. Thank you to all who lifted us up in your prayers. It makes all the difference! God is good.

October Update

Well, one more month has passed and we are still waiting. It seems that we on a roller coaster ride of emotions these days. But God is good and seems that when one of us is struggling the other one of us is a rock.

There are still 12 mothers working with Bethany that need to be placed with families. Of which, six of the mothers are diagnosed with Bi-Polar or other mental health issues. We had put as one of our preferences that the mother not have any mental health issues. We are being asked by Bethany, to reconsider this preferences. Please pray with us as we consider this. We are doing more research and sorting through things. Sometimes it feels we are doing a research project instead of waiting to become a family. Pray with us that we receive the child that God wants us to have. It is so hard to know what to do, knowing how badly we want a child. We really just want God to work in this situation.

We thank you so much for your prayer and words of encouragement during this time. It truly is how we are getting through this. I also want to thank those of you who have supported us financially during this process. You will never know how much that has meant to us and how blessed we feel to have friends and family like you!
