Adoption Video

We are at such an exciting and monumental time in the life of our
family.  Our emotions resemble a carnival ride like "The Sky
Master!"  Having young children living on the other side of the world
is a roller coaster ride and not for the faint of heart!  We are waiting
for this ride to conclude and for the journey of becoming a family to begin.
 Not that we expect there to be less challenges, in fact what we have
experienced so far is likely to pale in comparison to what we have yet to walk
through.  That is OK.  We did not sign up for easy street when we
said "yes" to God.  
As new parents frequently are, we feel quite protective and ready
to defend our new children.  We want the absolute best for them.
 They have, after all, experienced the ultimate rejection that a child
could ever face.  This Mama bear is alive and well!!  All this to
say, we had planned on sharing this video and photos of our precious children
as soon as we had passed court, but our hearts have been torn.  We have
been wrestling with ‘how to deal with people who reject adopted kids??’ This
has caused us to want to keep our new children to ourselves.  However, many
of you have been supportive through prayer, words of encouragement, and
financially and we are so thankful for each one of you!  We really want to
share our joy with you so we have decided to overlook any negativity and
testify to what the Lord has done thus far in our 9 lives. ; )
