We are matched!!!!!

We hope and pray that this is the right situation for us and that everything works out!!!!!

Baby Girl due 12/23/08

We travel to meet the expecting mom tomorrow and will learn more about what will happen at the birth.

Say a Prayer

One agency emailed today. They sent our book to a birthmom who delivered a few days ago. How wonderful it would be to get a call that this was our baby!!!!!!!!

A Few Situations

We have a few situations right now, but they all have uncertanties. So we are just continuing to pray. We have been waiting 11 months. It's time next month to update our homestudy, so that will keep us busy a few weeks.

Bring the Rain

"Bring me joy, bring me peace
Bring the chance to be free
Bring me anything that brings your glory
And I know there'll be days
When this life brings me pain
But if that's what it takes to praise You
Jesus, bring the rain"
Mercy Me, "Bring the Rain"


I read this today on another blog. A blog that makes my trials and hardships seem like "a walk in the park".

Dear Lord,
Help me remember that my life should always reflect you and that my actions and how I handle what comes my way should help lead others to you. Bless my daily path with others that love you and can bring me closer to you. Help me to see the beauty you have put in my life and to not take those things and people for granted. Be with those expecting mothers who sit here tonight with heavy hearts and try to decide the future of their children, their pain is enourmous! Bless those who long to be mothers who face each day with a desire so strong it cannot be quenched, lift them up, give them strength! Bless those mothers who have easily been blessed with child at the perfect time, let them remember to praise you for that blessing. Help me everyday to see you working in my life - not for my benefit but for yours. And mostly help me to rejoice in that. As I lay my head on my pillow tonight give me peace! Praise your glourious name for the salvation you provide through your son's death on the cruel cross. AMEN!

God's answer was "no"

This was not meant to be our baby. Her parents have decided to parent her. They are in a very difficult place and have various trials ahead. Please pray for little Angela Lynn and her family.

Is this our baby or not?

We got a call on Saturday about a baby girl born in Louisville and that we could go meet the birthparents on Sunday. We'll things have gone crazy since then and it's up in the air. So we are waiting to find out more, but it will probably be Thursday or Friday before we know anything.

Pray for us!

Keep praying for our family, that God will see fit to bring a new baby into our lives. Pray that we will find contentment until that time.
