This past saturday marked the 1 yr anniversary of when we met Tina of Mugisha ministries who help us begin our journey of independent adoption from Rwanda. I can't beleive a whole year has gone by and I think of all the personal changes and growth we have made as a family over the past year. Bill and I have had many serious conversations about the steps we are about to take, the challenges we are going to face, the burdens we will carry, and the blessings that will come from this choice- and every time we still both smile and know in our hearts this is what *we* want to do, and this is what we feel God wants us to do, more importantly. Who wouldn't want the blessing of a child? There is no greater Gift to us than a baby.
Like the Nike slogan- Just Do it.
I'll end with this verse from Isaiah 54
"Enlarge the place of your tent,
stretch your tent curtains wide,
do not hold back;
lengthen your cords,
strengthen your stakes.
This is the Bible's version of "you need an addition to hold all our children..." That would be awesome.

one year and you've got a child! that's amazing! i know it seems like the wait has been FOREVER, but that's really awesome! i'll have to pick your ear when we're ready for adoption #2. we're using an agency with our adoption now (you have to with Korea) and doing an international independent adoption is scary to me! but i see you've done it! so i'll have to ask you all about it :-)
