Adoption

For those you who didn't know, Jayme and I plan to adopt our next little one. From where and exactly when is still uncertain. I continue to find confirmation in this decision even though many times the idea frightens me. It is so foreign, and as difficult as it is to imagine ever loving another child as much as I love Evangeline, whether or not they come from my womb I know that God gives us that incredible ability. 

As I was reading another blog today of someone in the process of a second adoption and as I looked a the referral picture of their first child, I cried. I don't even know this particular family, but my heart breaks for children without families, and I just know that we are called to do something about it. I honestly do not cry very often in life. Usually only when things catch up with me but the idea and the faces of these children who need love above anything else will do it to me every time. 

If you think about it please pray for us to have wisdom for all of the details to come. The timing, the place, and our baby in particular.
