WE’RE ADOPTING!
“And I am certain that God, who began the good work within you, will continue His work until it is finally finished on the day when Christ Jesus returns.” — Philippians 1:6
Many years ago — even before we started dating — God made it very clear to Jordan that adoption would be part of his story. We’ve held that promise close to our hearts, and over the years, through His Word and through life’s circumstances, the Lord has placed that same desire deeply in my heart as well. There were seasons when we didnt feel ready to grow our family, and there were also years marked by infertility and waiting. But through it all, God has remained faithful.
After much prayer, the support of our closest friends and family, encouragement from adoptive families in our community, and a peace that truly passes understanding, we are so excited to share that we have officially begun the adoption process. Praise be to God! We are trusting that the Lord, in His kindness and love, will continue the good work He started in both of our hearts so many years ago.
Excitedly, we have been given a $5,000 matching grant administered by Colonial Heights Baptist Church in Ridgeland, MS. Which means, for the first $5,000 raised, your dollar will instantly double! What a gift!
But, even more than money, we would be so grateful if you would join us in prayer throughout this journey, specifically for:
• Our future child — for health, growth, and protection
• Our future child’s birth mother and father — for health, safety, and salvation
• Jordan and I — as we prepare our hearts, minds, and home to welcome this child
• God’s provision — that every financial need, opportunity, and resource would be provided in His perfect timing
We can’t wait to see all that the Lord will do through this journey, and we can’t wait to become this child’s parents in God’s perfect timing. He or she is already chosen, accepted, deeply loved, and prayed for beyond measure!💕
