Since we have such awesome prayer warriors out there, many we have never met face to face, I want to share the latest with you.

 

We have learned about a little girl with CP that we will likely pursue for adoption. Please do not email me for details as to how we found out about her; I am already hesitant to post much right now. But we have learned about her through someone who is advocating for her and I believe God is tugging on my heart.

 

In a previous post, someone (I think it was Amy  EDIT: oops, it was Jennifer lol) suggested that we call her “Hope” (at the time, we were talking about an unknown child we hoped to adopt). It was funny that she posted this because of many reasons (I will definitely share after our adoption is complete) and has become even MORE than appropriate for this child.

 

This tug I feel is a familiar feeling. It is much like the tug that lead us to pursue “Flower”. If you don’t know the story or have forgotten, read these to old blog posts:

So please pray for “Hope”. I am really becoming convinced that God is speaking to my heart about pursuing this child but, of course, want to be sure it is Him.  I am really starting to get excited about the fact that we could be in Ukraine in just 4 months! Wow, how cool is that. Again, praying that all will go smoothly from here on out. I believe God has already moved our mountain to adopt “Flower” though we have no particular reason for believing that other than we have faith in God and I just feel it in my heart.

Hey, that might have been my comment to your April 22 post :) I'm definitely praying for "Hope" and for your family. God has brought you this far for a reason, so just keep your eyes focused on Him to find out the exciting details!!!

I think "Hope" is an awesome name! You might just need to start a new blog... "Hope and Flower"!
I am keeping my fingers crossed for you that your dossier gets submitted and all is ok! I'd love to see you come home with THREE.... why the heck not!!!???
Hope that you are doing well!
Hugs!

Oops, Jen, I edited my entry :)

I hear ya, Amy. We are not approved for 3 but you never know what God can have planned, right?

Thanks!!!
