Officially matched!!

In case I forgot to officially say - we are OFFICIALLY MATCHED with the birth mom in Florida!!! There is so much to do, so many logistics to figure out, but we are so excited! We truly believe God created this child to be a part of our family, so we are moving forward, asking God to help us trust him in deeper ways and believing he will provide for us to bring this baby home.

I keep reminding myself of this truth - He just asks us to be willing. He does the rest. He has changed the world. He moves mountains with his fierce love. He overthrows kingdoms. He does more than we could ever ask or imagine. A few thousand dollars will not stand in his way if he wants this baby to be a part of our family.

If you do feel led to be a part of God's provision for us financially, you can visit our fundraising site. Again, we know not everyone is called to partner with us in this way, so PLEASE, no pressure. Just if you feel led :)

We flew down a few weeks ago to meet the birth mom, and it went really well. Though really hard in some ways - she has been trapped in so many harmful and unjust cycles, and gone through so much in her short life - we are so thankful for her good heart and commitment to doing what is best for her baby. So many things about our meeting with her caused us to thank God even more. It also deepened out commitment to helping break the cycles that trap so many - and we know adopting this child into our home is one of the main ways God is calling us right now to love this mother and help break cycles. (I am happy to try to answer any more questions about the birth mom privately, as well as the adoption process - just shoot me an email or text!)

Thank you all for your love and support. Keep our baby and this mother in your prayers.
