We've decided to start our international adoption. We've always known we would adopt from another country, but for the last three years, we've felt very strongly that we should start in our own backyard. There are so many kids in this country who need a family. We've done absolutely all we can, though. Maybe God has children for us in this country...or maybe He had us going through this adoption process to ready us (or have us wait) for the international journey. We may never know, but right now we're sure we're supposed to move forward.
We've applied to one agency, but have not yet decided that we will continue with this one. We're trying to decide on an agency and a country, so we're trying to weed through a LOT of information. I think it might be a lot easier if we knew exactly who we wanted. We're open to anyone God wants in our family (country, race, age, etc. are just not big issues for us.) We have a few guidelines, but it still leaves us open to just about every country. We'll just keep looking at countries and agencies and we feel confident that the Lord will lead us where we should go.

Elizabeth, I got your comment on my blog. We adopted Sarah Chang in 1/09. Where did you read January of this year? I need to fix it! :-)
Hooray! Now deciding on the country is next! Let me know how you decide!
so since this was written in Sept, any progress or decisions made?? just curious as I am so excited to hear about anyone choosing to follow God's call to adopt one of His children.
