Happy Anniversary! I actually flipped to the end of the video hoping for some referral news! AHHHH! I'm going crazy waiting to hear about your referral. Praying for you every day!!!!
God placed a heart for Africa and for adoption in both of us a long time ago. In April 2008 God called us to do something surprising: to begin our family by adopting before we have biological children. Even crazier? When we picked our our first child, we met our second. We're excited and overwhelmed, but we know without a shadow of a doubt that this is God's call on our life. Thanks for sharing in the journey!
