Fall 2005

I don't know if I have ever mentioned this on our blog. If you look at our timeline on the right you can see that we first started talking about adoption in the fall of 2005. Well, by no coincidence...our new little girl's birthday is in November of 2005! Just another sweet confirmation that we are following God's ultimate plan for our family. Thank you, Lord, for making all things work together as we follow Your call on our life.

Amy said...: WOW! That's cool. While your road has been LONG and very painful at times... I believe VERY soon you will look back and smile. All those little bumps in the road... were just leading you to HER.; September 13, 2009 at 12:39 PM
