We wanted to have this blog to share what God has been doing in our lives, leading us to adopt a child with special needs. God has used many other families to challenge and encourage us, as He opened our hearts to the need and the blessing of adoption. Our hope is that this blog will give Him the glory for all of it, as well as be a way to keep friends and family up to date on our progress and provide encouragement to other families considering or pursuing an adoption. Thank you for sharing our journey and may God bless you!
