Donations

For those of you who have asked (and bless you for even wondering), an account has been set up for our adoption fund. Our church is partnering with us and is now accepting donations. All donations are tax deductible.

God is really growing us in humility through the adoption process. Being in a situation where we have a real financial need is very much out of our comfort zone. Accepting assistance for this need can be - well, quite awkward really. Don't get me wrong - we are immensely appreciative for every single sacrifice that is being made. But we are equally humbled by your generosity. This is a growing pain we are learning to accept. Ben and I neither one are exactly humble-savvy. We both prefer to be in the driver's seat and vowing to do something that is 100% outside of our control is a little trying. And a lesson that is, obviously, much needed.

God is showing us that this picture is much bigger than Baby B. Much bigger than our little family. He will (thankfully) be glorified through so many more people than the five of us. He is calling people from all over the world to be a part of this story. Of this redemptive process. So we will do everything we can to get out of our own way, to point all praise to God and to thank Him for every part of this hard and beautiful quest.

NOTE: I feel an urging to tell you this - If you have ever even considered adoption I urge you to please pray about it. If God can use us, he can use anybody! ANNNEEEEE. BODY. Trust me, we are not amazing people, Spiritual giants or super parents. We do not have more love to give away than anyone else. We BY NO MEANS have any of this figured out. We are simply relying on the Father to the Fatherless, on Jehovah Jireh (the God of provision), and the Author of this story to show us the path and give us the power of His Spirit to walk it.
