I'm Back

WoW!  What a fast 10 months it has been!  Our little man is so big and smart and sweet....... I could go on and on but you really don't have that much time!  REALLY you don't!  I just can not say enough about our little Jake!  What a sweet, sweet blessing we have been given!

So what has given me the "blogging bug again"??  I am going to be a guest writer on "The R House"!  How exciting!   Mrs. R is a wonderful adoption advocate, a great adoptive Mom of two super cute little boys, and a great (electronic) friend.  She help me through some of the toughest point of our journey whether is was by actually talking to me or by post she had on her site from times she was feeling the same raw emotions.  I am honored to have the opportunity to write our story for all of Mrs. R's fans to read.  Check out her blog (and look for my post this week) at http://www.therhouse.blogspot.com/

In the mean time, look at a picture of my awesome little man!  Isn't he a cutie pie!  We sure do love him!

GOD is so good!

God is an AWESOME God!  News just in from the R house. 

The judge ruled in their favor! 

Praise the Lord!  Finalization is set for this Friday but the birthfather still have the right to appeal for the next 30 days!  Say a prayer of thanks to God for this wonderful family!  Also, continue to pray for them for the next 30 days! 

God answers prayers!  If you don't believe it ADOPT!

Prayer Request

Not much time to update lately...... We are busy getting ready for our little man Jake. To say we are excited is an understatement. God is a GOOOOD God and things are going great! We have had some awesome prayers answered this week. Can't really go into detail right now but just know that your prayers are being heard and answered. God is watching over everyone involved in this adoption. Jake has been and will be a bless little fella!

I promise I will update more in detail soon!

Today I wanted to ask everyone to pray for my friend's at the R House (www.therhouse.blogspot.com). They go to court today to fight for their little man Gavin in a contested adoption. Go to their website and read their story of great faith and courage. Pray for Mrs. R, Mr. R, Joniece, Gavin, Tyson, and their entire families.

Just a quick note about their struggle (and I am not certain about the particulars) - Gavin was place with the R's at birth by Joneice (his birth mother) and at some point the birth father (and his mother) mother decided to contest the adoption. Joneice is certain that God meant for her to place Gavin with the R's and has no doubt. She will be testifying for the R's today - is that not AWESOME! She has Gavin's best interest at heart and this story is what open adoption is all about - a lot of people loving the same little person and doing what is best and right for their well being! The R's have tried to reach out to the birth father but so far have been unsuccessful.

I love you Mrs. R - you are in inspiration and have taught me so much even from far, far away! Keep you chin up, pray hard, and believe! We are praying for you extra hard today!
