So, not 20 minutes after I posted the previous post, did God set His promise into place. I got a call from one of our agencies we are working with. She called me and said, "I have some sad news, but some good news." Not quite sure what to think about that, but knowing part of it meant that we weren't matched with the birth mom we had been waiting to hear from for two weeks, I sat in listened. She said, "well birth mom L chose the other family, but we do have another situation we want to talk to you about." Hmm.this is new. "This is an agency pick situation, where the agency picks the family, because the birth mom does not want to and we would like to know if you would like to match with her?" WHAT?! Of course. I listened to her tell me about mom as tears streamed down my face with complete gratitude and humility at the goodness of God. Mom is due on November 4th! That's in two weeks! I tell you, when God tells us to move and we obey then he does not delay on his Word and promise. Needless to say, we are downright thrilled and excited. We still have reservation as with any adoption until all papers have been signed, but we are handing it over to God and trusting Him!
As we look at the amazing donations and funding that we have been blessed with for our adoption, we discover we are still $9,000 short to be able to complete this match. We have been asked to have all funding turned in with our contract by Monday, October 28th. We know that God is our provider and are continuing to press into his arms with complete trust.
We are first and foremost asking you to stand alongside of us in prayer as we trust in God's provision and wisdom to bring her home in two weeks. If you feel God is leading you to help fill in the gap to bring our baby girl home, you can donate through our paypal account linked to this page. We are so grateful for all of the prayers that have been covering our family and look forward to sharing how God moves through this journey to bring our baby girl home.
