Keep in Mind

During the adoption process, the wait seems endless and the paperwork so tedious. Around every corner is another obstacle to overcome and another payment to be made. Add all of this up and the sum is typically frustration and exhaustion. But then someone offers a glimpse of hope. A successful adoption story from a friend, patient, or CCAI reference. These stories remind me of why we started this journey... for the child on the other end. Not just any child, but the child chosen to join our family forever. The child chosen to become part of our legacy. A human being with little fingers and toes, emotions and personality, hopes and needs. A little one that will call us Dad and Mom. 

The new Dad in this adoption story understands, especially after holding his child. He says "We prayed for a child. In our prayers, there wasn't a face. There wasn't a name. We were just asking for a child. It wasn't just a child God intended to bring into our family... All that waiting, all those prayers were for Jacob, for our son." Like this Dad, we also hope that God will be glorified through our child's story. A story of perseverance, passion, and providence inspiring him/herself and others.
