Our Growing Family: Adopting from Haiti

Adoption...it is an exciting and yet somewhat frightening path to follow. I've decided to create a blog to describe this journey for several reasons: to document our adoption process, to help others who may have some of the same questions and concerns that we have or once had, and to share our experiences with our friends and family.

Getting Ready to Leave for Haiti

It's funny how the most mundane tasks, like copying papers for the medical visa, can be exciting. And yet here I am jumping out of my skin about a visit to the copy machine. The Lord tells us to live our lives in anticipation, expecting him to show up and do what is impossible for us to do on our own.  This entire journey has been God showing up. From the doctors who agreed to treat Judson free of charge for the visa to the paperwork that passed through the Haitian consulate in three hours--God has shown up. It is amazing to see His work in action.

Thank you Lord Jesus for the way you show up. Thank you that we can rely on you because while we are weak, you are strong...our rock and our deliverer.

It seems sureal that in three days I'll be holding Judson. Please keep us in prayer. We will ALL be home by Aug. 8 if not sooner.
Love Always,
Laurie
