Throughout our marriage and dating relationsip the Lord really showed us His heart for the world and specifically orphans. Adam and I have loved sharing the Gospel in…Africa, India, Philippines, Haiti, Central America, Albania…and now we’re praying that the Lord will give us a child from Haiti and/or Oklahoma to literally be His hands and feet in our home, not only with Ellie, but with a child He has hand picked for us!
June, 2011- Private adoption process began with assistance from Share Adoptions in Texas
July, 2011- Requested information from Dillion International for homestudy (first step in the process)
July, 2011- Referred to Oklahoma Home Study & Heritage Family Services because Dillion doesn’t do private
adoption home studies
July, 2011- Filled out the H.I.S.Home Children’s Home adoption application
On August 22nd we found out we’re expecting another child of our own…. So we’ll most likely be adopting from Haiti in about 2 years!
We’ll keep you posted on when we turn in our applications and get the process started!
Covering you in prayer, happy wishes and patience!!! Love Forever, GiGi Pat
