Greetings to all our friends and family. We hope that you had an enjoyable and safe Christmas and New Years. 2020 was a rough year, and 2021 is not shaping up to be that much better thus far. That said, our hope is in Christ and we trust that no matter what happens in the... Continue Reading →
Therefore, We Do Not Despair…
On October 19, 2020 we posted an update asking for our friends and family to spend some time during the month of November praying with us regarding our adoption. We want to say thank you to those of you that stood with us in prayer during that time because we needed every prayer you prayed.... Continue Reading →
Standing in the Need of Prayer…for One Less..
Greetings all! If you have clicked on to this post, thank you so much. We know this adoption journey has been long. Trust us we know! But the fact that you are reading this means that you are still walking this process out with us, and for that we are grateful! Brass tacks...COVID-19 has been... Continue Reading →
A Little Light…
Hello all. Just wanted to provide a brief update on a few things in relation to our adoption. To answer the obvious question, "no" we have not been matched yet. This November will be two years since we began the process. In some ways we are discouraged because the waiting has been hard, but we... Continue Reading →
The Long Way Home…
One of our favorite shows on television is The Voice (SO much better than American Idol). On the most recent season the winner, Todd Tilghman, performed an original song entitled "Long Way Home". https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sEVl0_7Cs9k The lyrics from the song that really hit home for us can be seen below: "Sometimes dreams get lost.

That said, in hindsight, we in some ways miss having tangible things to do because it gave us something to focus on. Now that we are done with paperwork at this stage, the waiting...

Are We There Yet…
Happy New Year everyone! It's hard to believe that we have yet again turned the page on a new year. 2019 and the 2010s decade seemed to go by so fast at times. In reflecting on the previous year and decade, though many times were hard, we have been so blessed. Many of our blessings... Continue Reading →
Approved and Officially Waiting…
Just under a year ago on November 13, 2018 we submitted our pre-application with Lifeline Children's Services. With that submission we began our journey to adopt from Colombia. We poured ourselves into hours, days, weeks, and months of paperwork and training. We exposed our lives before strangers (who are now our Lifeline family 🙂 ).... Continue Reading →
Out of our Hands…
The title of this update is a little funny because this whole process has always been out of our hands from a spiritual perspective. From a natural perspective, we are happy to report that OUR DOSSIER IS AT FANA!!!! What this means is that our application for adoption is going to be reviewed within the... Continue Reading →
I’m So Excited…I’m So Scared…
Growing up we were both huge fans of the show Saved by the Bell. There are a ton of iconic moments from the show, but the one that likely tops most peoples list is... This pretty much sums up how we feel right now because we received word from our agency, Lifeline, that our dossier... Continue Reading →
