We wanted to let everyone know that we decided against having our profile shown to the young lady that I wrote about in previous blog. There were some concerns we had with her smoking and the additional children that she has. When it came down to it, we felt like we were letting our need to have a child cloud our judgement, when it came to the health of the baby, both now and in the future.
We also would like just a few extra prayers. This time last year we were hoping we would be a more complete family this Christmas. And I know that Matt and I are both struggling. As Matt has wrote before, we have many things to be thankful for and we serve an amazing God, who will supply all our needs. WE just need to remember that it is according to His will and timing not ours. (I feel like I have said this many times)
I know when we finally have the child that God wants, we will look back and thank God for this amazing journey that bought us to them! Just have to keep on moving and believing!
Many Blessings,
Mandy

Prayer Concern
We received the December update letter from Bethany yesterday, in this update they asked us to be open to a placement of a women early in her pregnancy. We are considering making ourselves available to this girl. Our concern is that it is early in her pregnancy, making us unavailable to anyone else. Also, she has two other children, ages 6 and 2. We are concerned because this child would be leaving biological siblings. Please pray with us as we make this decision. Pray that we have discernment in this process that we will continue to walk in God's will.
