Finished Home Study

We passed our home study today.  That means they think we are fit to be parents.  This stage of the process was almost too easy.  Hopefully, the remainder of the process will be quick and easy too.  We have also officially told both sides of our families and a majority of our friends.  Everyone has been happy for us and supportive.  Thankfully, I was able to tell my Poppa before he passed away last week.  He was a wonderful man and meant so much to me throughout my life.  He thought adopting was a great idea and that we will make great parents.  One of the greatest reactions we have heard was from Grandma Dixie.  She just kept saying "I am going to be a great grandma!"

Our prayer: That the Lord will continue to bless and guide us through this adoption adventure.  May it continue to be quick and easy.

Only the Beginning

Evan and I have been praying about adding to our little family for a long time now.  The Lord has blessed us with many little ones.  I am talking about all of the baby bunnies, guinea pigs, kitten, ducks, and of course our hound dogs.  We have had oodles of animals within our three years of marriage.  
The Lord has been tugging our hearts in a different direction lately.  We have began the adventure of adoption.  We have applied to an orphanage in Taiwan called Home of God's Love.  Also we begin our home study this coming week.  In between gathering the proper paperwork we have also baby proofed the house.  Who knew outlet covers and smoke alarms could be so exciting.
