It's official - our family of 4 is growing to a family of 5 very soon!
As most of our friends and family know, we have been in the adoption process for several monthes. Adoption has been something that Steve and I had on our hearts before we had any children, and knew that someday we would be adopting a child. As the years have gone on, and God has blessed us with two amazing children, we have slowly but surely felt the tug on our hearts for adoption getting stronger and stronger. We knew last summer was God's timing for us to submit our application and take our huge leap of faith into this wild journey.
Last June, we were overwhelmed with the huge support from our family and friends helping us with a fundraising garage sale! We took our Pre-adoption classes in August, and planned on continuing on full-steam ahead with the process. However, God slowed us down a little, which allowed us some time to research, and process the huge journey ahead of us. We began our homestudy in Feburary, and became approved as of today! Now, the wait begins! We anticipate about 6 monthes before we will be offered a "referral", which in adoption lingo, is a baby. After we accept the referral, it will be about another 6-7 monthes before we can travel to Korea to bring our son home. Adoption is not a predictable process, nor is anything guaranteed. It's a huge step of faith, and we're trusting God to lead us each step. We are so thankful for your interest in our journey! We look forward to sending continued updates on the process!!
