Still waiting . . . We're hoping for a court date in the next 4 to 6 weeks. I've been surrounded by encouraging coworkers throughout this process. They have been a blessing . . . and I can always hope that a seed will be planted in someone's heart to pursue an adoption too!
We learned on April 1st, 2009 about our referral of a one month old baby girl. She is beautiful!! She has beautiful big brown eyes and a lot of hair! We can't wait to go to her and cuddle, kiss, rock and sing. Praise God!
After graduating from Calvin College in 1999, God blessed me with a wonderful husband and family. Tom and I have three biological children: Seth (9), Megan (9), and Gabe (5). We have adopted our fourth child, Joy, from Ethiopia. She was born February 2009 and came home on July 15th!
Pray for Gabe to always be a goofy and imaginative kid. But also one who learns to be a worker!!
Pray for Seth to build friendships too and to grow his passion for drawing!
Pray for Megan that she can find/develop some true friendships with girls in her class.
- For Joy to quickly attach to us and for our adjustment at home to go well.
- Bethany friends with upcoming court dates. (That they may pass the first time.) And for those waiting for referrals. (Patience while they wait for the child of their dreams.)
