I prayed daily that God would open my husband's heart to adoption. Then, the craziest thing happened, He put families who had adopted in he's path. He saw what adopting really looks like. He saw children who had possibilities because they had a loving family. One night, while surfing the web, I got on the this advocacy website, Reece's Rainbow because one of those families that God was using to soften M's heart where adopting two beautiful little ones. We identified a little girl in a country in Eastern Europe and we began the process.
As the months went on, we found ourselves done with the home study and own to the dossier stage. We where moving right along and it felt great. Then road bumps started to occur but no bump is to big for God so we continued with faithful hearts. Then one day, the door was slammed shut, and our adoption was put into limbo. We lived on a roller coaster, we had good days and very bad days. We continued because we new this was what God wanted to do. Then one night with tears in my eyes, I prayed that God would give us a yes or no....I needed a direct answer...no maybe. The next morning, He gave us that answer and while it was not the answer I was hoping for, it was the answer we would except.
So, here we are starting again, not from the start but close to it. We have gone from the red bear and have chosen to go with the red thread. While it is not the journey we started out on it is the journey God intended us to go on.
The biggest mistake people make is following their plan and not Gods...we are not making that mistake.
