The Beginning

Hello friends and family! Many of you already know that we are hoping to adopt. We actually started the adoption process through foster care almost two years ago and near the end...surprise! We found out that Auggie was on the way so we put the adoption process on hold. Now that Auggie is a year old we have decided to begin the adoption journey again. This time, however, we are planning to adopt an infant. We are creating this blog to keep everyone updated on the ups and downs and ins and outs of our adoption experience. We hope that you will be thinking and praying for us often. We have several adoption fundraisers in mind so check back here and on facebook often. I will launch the first fundraiser within the week (I hope)! Now to answer a few questions:

1. Domestic or International? Domestic.
2. What agency are you planning to adopt through? Adoption Support Center in Indianapolis is who we are planning to go with. We went to an informational meeting and they seem great!  (However, we are also open to an independent adoption if we are some how connected to a birth mother who would like us to adopt her baby. We are really leaving this in God's hands.)
3. Boy or Girl? We have NO idea! We are open to either.
4. When will the adoption take place? When we save/raise the funding :)
5. How much does it cost? About $20,000.00 (More about the breakup of expenses soon.)

Have more questions? Feel free to ask!

So here we are at the beginning. Share with your friends, pray for us, and pray for the baby and birth mother. We are excited to see what God will do and teach us through this journey. Thank you for your love and support along the way!
