We will Wait...

We've not posted in awhile, as we are sure you know. There's just not been anything new to really post about. Situations we are presented with from time to time, must remain confidential, and so we cannot share much in regards to that.

But here we are...

Still waiting. And we will continue to wait, for as long as we need to.

We are just 5 days short of it being 5 months that we've been home study approved. So while it may seem like a long time; 5 months really isn't too terribly long, when you look at the wait in the world of adoption. Does it feel like forever? It certainly does.
Generally, most adoption waits can range from 12 to 24 months. Sometimes it's much sooner, and in some cases, it can be longer.

So while waiting, we just continue to pray for the child that the Lord will one day bless our family with. We know that he has already hand picked the little babe that he has for our family.

We are also praying for the direction he would have us to go. We are able to sign up with other adoption agencies, to give us more opportunity to adopt sooner, but again, there is no guarantee of how soon it would happen. And, when signing on with other adoption agencies, there is more paperwork involved, application fees due, and did I mention; more paperwork!?

It's not that we are opposed to doing more paperwork, or looking into other options, we look at it as, it's not up to us. God is guiding us in this journey, and we don't want to make a move, unless he impresses upon us to do so. Because when God says do it, He's already planned the resources we will need, to accomplish the task.

We are ready; ready for that phone call that we've been matched! And we absolutely cannot wait until that day! We are so, so excited, and cannot wait to see what is in store for us! We know it's gonna be good!

We want to share with you a few sneak peaks into our little ones nursery! The room is ready, the only thing needed to complete it? Our little blessing <3





As always, please continue to keep us in your prayers. Pray specifically for a peace about decisions that need to be made. Pray for comfort during the wait. And pray for others going through the adoption wait also. We know just how hard it is!

Thank you friends, we are thankful for you!

Love,


Kevin & Amber

Thinking Back | Looking Forward

One year ago today, we were completing our fourth and final homestudy. Just a short month later would find out that we were homestudy approved. It's been a long year in some ways, but I remember the whirlwind of it all in the beginning, just like it was yesterday. So many requirements to be met, and me; I want to have everything done right now, and done the right way the first time. And now, some days are just quiet. Very quiet. Going into adoption, we knew we'd be faced with a wait. We went into this process knowing that the average wait in adoption is one to two years. Does knowing that make it any easier enduring the wait? Not at all. However, we know that in time, this calling to adoption that was placed on our lives, will all come together. And when it does, we will understand the things that right now we do not. Over the past year while getting calls about potential situations, both with Choosing Hope Adoptions, and the National Down Syndrome Adoption Network, saying ...

Help us Bring Home our Missing Piece

Starting the New Year with "Help us Bring Home our Missing Piece" Fundraiser! As many of you know, we are home study approved, and we are only waiting for a family to be matched with! Placement of a child could be a soon as next month, in the months to come, or even in a year. We simply do not know! And as we all know, adoption is not cheap. While we are contributing, saving, and working to take care of the cost that surrounds adoption, we have given you, our friends and fami ly, many ways to be a part of this adoption. And we thank you for the outpouring of support you have been to us in our journey so far! We know that God is writing a story here and we are simply following his path, and plan for our lives! We have two puzzles that we’ve created; each 11x14 puzzle is made up of 252 pieces. We are “selling” each puzzle piece for $20.00. You can choose to buy 1, 2, 3, or 10 pieces! There is no limit! Once you purchase a piece, we will write your name on the back of...

thirty four

Missing pieces do more than complete a puzzle. They fill in an empty space. It's been a good week! At the beginning of 2017 we launched our newest fundraiser; "Help us Bring Home our Missing Piece." After kicking off the fundraiser, we sold our first two pieces! And then, last Sunday, we set a goal to "sell" 10 puzzle pieces. Our goal of 10 puzzle pieces was far exceeded; we sold 34 just this week! On Facebook, we mentioned the wonderful gentleman who wanted to purchase all 10 pieces, to help us meet our goal. He was purchasing them in honor of his family members. When listing out those family members, he named 12, and said he wanted to buy all 12. After he wrote them down, and was figuring it all up, he ended up with 15 pieces! A sweet friend of mine, her prayer group (15 individuals), all of whom we do not know, they all purchased one piece each as well! What a blessing! Two of Kevin's friends from work purchased one each. And a family member also ...
