Our Adoption Journey- It has been long and bumpy at times!

When Casey and I went into this decision we pondered, prayed, and heavily relied upon our Loving Lord for direction. We knew these children were ours. We had no idea how, but we knew it!
We have faced great financial struggles since we committed to our children. Obstacles that have stalled our adoption process. It has been very difficult, overwhelming, and emotional at times. Each time we come out of it knowing we are to do all we can and the Lord will provide a way!

Just this week we received an email that told us to hurry and get our dossier(international paperwork) in before some changes may be implemented because they could affect our adoption from going forward. It really stressed me out. I knew there was no way to hurry what they are wanting from us right now. So after a lot of crying, I prayed and then decided to go to the Temple the next day. I came home with so much peace. Knowing that all things are done in the Lord's timing. I learned that I needed to trust in His time frame and know that He has it taken care of.

Tanya- Yeah you have a blog! I love the adoption info. I hadn't heard much about it until recently. You guys are our heros. The photo of your soon to be kids is beautiful. They do look like they belong in your family. I can't wait to meet them.
