After much silence on updates on our adoption process....I finally have one! But before I tell you I wanted to share what the LORD has been doing these last several weeks.
The LORD is up to crazy things! That's all I can say! When you say things to Him like, "here I am LORD...use me...send me".....you never know what's going to happen.
So, here is a glimpse of what He is doing.
#1 He is building us a house. A house that will suit the needs of all of us including my mom. I wish I could tell you all the details now....but I'll save it for another time. The house will have plenty of room for our expanding family. which brings me to point number 2.
#2. We are requesting 2 babies instead of 1. Now...we don't know that we will get 2 babies. It would have to be a sibling group...but the LORD has gotten us to the place where we have said "yes" at the possibility! Most likely we'd go back for a second one anyway...so why not take two at one time?!!
Never in a million years would I have thought my life would turn out like this or look like this....but it is thrilling! More thrilling than I would have ever planned myself. My plan was too safe, too ordinary and boring....God's plan is much more exciting!
Ok...so update on adoption process....Our home study was finally approved by DHR and is currently at Immigration. We will send in our I-800A...go in for fingerprints and get that Dossier to INDIA!!!
Please, please pray for us. We have gone to battle with an enemy who hates what we are doing. We will encounter road blocks, set backs and struggles....and we will need your prayer support.
All for His Glory,

That's awesome on both points. My husband and I are just getting the first paperwork going to adopt out of the foster system, and we are at the same place with #2. We figure we'll want to adopt again, so we may as well be open to 2 at once.
I've also been praying that God would open up a home for us. We're currently in an apartment. It's roomy, but will be a bit cramped with 2 more kids. I'd love to be in a house within the next year!
How exciting...on so many levels! Press on!!
