It begins!

God is so faithful. Doing this adoption is such a huge exercise in faith. I mean for a young couple just starting out to find all the money for this, is impossible...without God. We knew from the beginning that it was going to take a lot of faith in God to get through this and only through Him would it be possible, but we knew it was what he was calling us to do. So...I knew the money would come but I never thought He would demonstrate His faithfulness so quickly. Last week we received an enormously generous check from some family friends towards our adoption. Enough to sign the contract with the agency and get this thing moving! It is so amazing. So today we send in all the necessary paperwork. We are now able to apply to begin our home study and start working on getting all our international paperwork together. We thought this wouldn't happen for a couple of months. Thank you all for your prayers. We will keep you updated with each exciting step!
