Bry and I were in a training this afternoon, and when I read the email, I immediately jumped out of my seat, ran across the hotel conference room, and shoved my phone in his face!
After 30 hrs of classes, 5 months of training and preparation, and remodeling the house, we are officially licensed for one to two children - ages 0-12 - and we are open to emergency fostering, fostering-to-adopt, and straight adoption. However, the agency knows that our preference is one child between the ages of 4 and 9.
We could receive a call at any moment about a precious child who needs a loving home. We are praying for the child(ren) who will be forced to leave their family and anything familiar and come into our home. As we've asked our friends and family before, we'd ask you again to pray for this child, as they could be experiencing abuse and neglect as I write this tonight.
We'll spend a lot of time cleaning the house this weekend and preparing (as much as we can) for the unexpected little visitor who could be here any minute!
Thank you for all the love, support, and prayers as we enter the most trying part of our journey - taking care of the child(ren) God will place in our home!
Woohoo!!! Yayyyyyy!! Hallelujahhhh!!!
