... National Adoption Month is learning that dear friends are embarking on their own adoption journey.
I can still remember sitting across from Tonya, Craig, Donny, Jordan, Kevin and Jack in our tiny dining room in Santiago and telling them all about the process of beginning our Haitian adoption. This was in March 2008 while we were knee-deep in the dossier paperchase and prior to the loss of our first referral and subsequent match with the two precious boys who now carry our last name.
What I recall most clearly is Tonya's comment that she would love to adopt and was completely open to the idea but did not feel God was leading her to seek adoption out ... if/when He wanted their family to do so, she believed He would be the one to clearly put adoption in their path.
Apparently now He has.
I am so excited to watch their Ugandan adoption unfold. This family is very special to us and they have supported and encouraged our own adoption efforts in tangible ways. I look forward to seeing the wonderful plans God has in store for them. Not to mention, I've already suggested an arranged marriage if they should bring home a little girl for one of my three little boys! :)
Craig and Tonya and family, God bless you on your journey!
