It’s really great how God is working in his people throughout this process. We have had both friends and strangers (now new friends) come alongside us in this effort with much needed support. Some have adopted in the past or are working on their first adoption. Others who have never adopted and don’t necessarily feel like they will. All of them just simply feel the need to walk with us through this time. New groups have come along as well, including a number of adoption ministries. At least once a week, someone new shows up as a part of this walk.
That was part of our prayer going into this, that we would get more connected with people and raise awareness of adoption in general. It’s happening because God is glorious and gracious. He knows that we need a support network, and he is bringing people from all over to support in a hundred little ways. This simple thing convinces me — if adoption is your dream, then pray and ask for God to send you a support network. You’ll begin to find that while the walk can be tough and stressful, as you follow and obey him God will see you through.
Hi!! Just want to let you know I’m still praying for you! I’m very much enjoying following your journey and am faithfully praying for you all, especially Sophie. So, know you have more “supporters” and I will continue to follow, as reading your story helps encourage us in ours! Merry Christmas to you all. Crystal (from Craigslist!)
