Welcome!


Welcome to our blog! First things first I will warn you that I am incredibly emotional at this point in time. We are starting a process that causes many ups and downs and all arounds, it's called international adoption. I will be changing our names on here for some safety reasons but really it's cause I enjoy calling people in my life by little nicknames... My husband (soon to be daddy) is "Howie." We'll be calling our future child "Bug." I am "Frizzled" all the time! When I look back on the last 4 years I wonder how I couldn't see God working from the beginning because it is all so clear. The infertility battles we have faced; the heartbreak following hopes; it all has led us to surrendering and saying "God, use us." We are called to defend the orphan. We feel God has a child out there for us, one he will place with us when the time is right. "God sets the lonely in families, he leads forth the prisoners with singing; but the rebellious live in a sun-scorched land." Psalm 68:8 


So I encourage you to follow our story and see just how you can be blessed through adoption. 


If you are here because you have seen a fund raising shirt of ours and want one too you can leave a comment about it and I will get with you and get you one. We have a paypal account setup for payments and donations you can do that by the button at the upper left that says "donate". Most of what we need is your encouragement though!

  1. Enjoy the wait and the ride. Most of all let this experience be life changing in the way you see God and approach His throne. After bringing our son home from Ethiopia it took me about four months to take communion without tears.

    It's an amazing experience for the whole family. Excited for you!
