A Quick Update

Hey Everyone,

Thank you SO MUCH for all the wonderful comments on our blog and that have been e-mailed to us. They are priceless to us! We just wanted to let you know a few things.

1. Our background checks have not come through yet. Our social worker asked us to pray for a speedy return on those as they can't show our profile (which is complete and ready to go) until they get those back. We would like you all to pray, not for a speedy return, but for God's perfect timing. If they are delayed may it be His will, if they are returned promptly, may that be His will as well.

2. Also, we opened up our registry at Babies R Us!!! It was so much fun to register for things and it made is feel like we are pregnant (which we are, through adoption) and it made things real to us. It was very exciting!!

3. Several of you have asked if you can share our blog with friends who are dealing with infertility or are are thinking about adoption. YES, YES, YES!!

That is all for now. Thanks again for your prayers, love, and support. By request, we'll try to get our Dear Birthmother Letter and photos posted soon.

"Being confident of this, that He who began a good work in you will carry it on to completion until the day of Christ Jesus." (Philippians 1:6) Thank you Lord, for allowing us to be confident in You and that You are beginning a good work in us. We look forward to you carrying it on to completion! May you be glorified!!

I don't know if you have seen this poem before, but I came across looking at some of our old Bethany stuff...

Not flesh of my flesh
Nor bone of my bone,
But still miraculously my own.
Never forget for a single minute
You didn’t grow
Under my heart - but in it.
