We have been contacting agencies all over Nebraska and we actually have our first informational meeting this Wednesday at 11:00 with Lutheran Family Services. We are hopeful but not making a decision yet. Just waiting for the LORD to bring us the right child. I have been reading a wonderful book its called.Celebrating adoptin the intentional family by Kiberley Raunikar Taylor. It has helped me understand the adoption process through her story and all though we are not adopting internationally like she did there is still a lot of decisions to be made and as she talks about her ups and downs it makes me realize this probably wont be an easy road to take. I just pray the the LORD continues to open the doors he already has. I have taken the advice of the author and praying or my future child an his or her birthmother. I want my child to understand his or hers past. My prayer for his or her birthmother is that I can be a witness to her and she will come to the saving knowledge of Jesus Christ and continue to serve HIM. I want my baby to know that his or her birthmother chose to adopt them out out of love. Its crazy I haven't even met a birthmother yet or a potential bay. I don't even know if he or she is even cnceived yet or is growing in his or her birthmother's womb but I continually pray for them and I just pray that He or she will ome to know Christ at an early age. I want him or her to know that I love them so very much and I can't wait for the LORD to place him or her in my arms.
Proverbs 2:6-7 For the LORD giveth wisdom: out of his mouth cometh knowledge and understanding.
7He layeth up sound wisdom for the righteous: he is a buckler to them that walk uprightly
