We have some exciting new to share! We are adopting from Peru! Yes, you read that right :) We are so excited to be starting this (long) process. This will be a special needs adoption, and while at one time we had an idea of what this would look like, as far as the child, we are waiting on God to sort it all out. We have talked and thought about adopting for several years, but it never seemed to be the "right"  time for our family. And when we did talk about it, Peru was never on our radar as a place we would consider. It was always Ethiopia or Eastern Europe somewhere. But one day things just turned upside down....!!  Peru was brought to our attention, by the picture of a very special child, and it started to seem like it just might be a possibility now. We fell in love with this child and started out with this child in our hearts and minds. While we don`t know how it will all turn out in the end, we know that our God knows and  will make His perfect will and plan known to our family. We are resting in this, and trusting in Him.
We don`t really have a clue how this process all works, other than it seems to take whole trees! worth of papers that have to be filled out, signed, initialed, notarized and apostilled! Seriously, lots and lots of paperwork! And lots of fundraisers to do...since we don`t just happen to have $30000 lying around burning a hole in our pockets! But again, we are trusting that God will provide, as He has in the past. We feel that if He has brought us to this point, He will take us through to the other side. As someone wiser than me told me, "If its Gods will, its His bill!" So read along and share in our journey...and maybe someday I can share what started us on this path! Please share however you feel to with others! We have some tentative fundraisers planned, and I would love any ideas you have to share :)
