Hi, I called our agency doing our home study to let her know to please go ahead and finish our home study. We had put it on hold after the miscarriage. Now we are pursuing an infant adoption from here in the United States. We need to make up a family profile and send off several copies to her and she can begin to look for someone for us. Our profile will be given to several birth mom's and then they choose us. It will be a challenge because birth mom's prefer families with no children or only one or two. The other route is an agency placement in which the birth mom gives her child up and isn't involved in the process. We are praying for God's guidance in this and for this to be His will and not ours. The desire is there and the need for families to adopt is there so I pray we are following His will.
Please pray:
For whoever God may have for our family; good choices for the birth mom during the pregnancy and for the health of the baby.
For the finances we need. This will cost between $10,000 to $17,000 (much less than the $35K we needed for international). We will begin applying for grants when the home study is completed. Please pray for grant money to be available. If we get picked by a mom it may be needed in a hurry.
Proverbs 19:21 There are many plans in a man's heart, nevertheless the Lord's counsel--that will stand.
