Three of our four family members wear glasses/contacts. It's so interesting how much clearer we can see when we get just a little help. Everything is blurry, we put on the glasses and then...bam...we can see things so much better. We had such a moment with our adoption process recently. We will spare you the... Continue Reading →

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 →

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 →

Sometimes love... Continue Reading →

Anyone who has adopted or is currently adopting knows how daunting the paperwork can be. It seems like it never ends! 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...

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 →

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 →

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 →
