Our Application is approved!

Our beautiful journey to adopt has begun!

Nick and I found out on 6/17/13 that our application for adoption has been approved! This is when the emotions started to overflow. I am scared, excited, anxious, super happy, over joyed, and nervous. I keep thinking what about the money? We do not have enough money. BUT, we are not doing this because we are ready and extremely financially stable. As Nick always says, we will never find the "perfect" time to raise a kid because no matter what things happen and life changes.

Adoption really is such a beautiful thing and it mirrors what Christ did and does for us daily.

For all who are led by the Spirit of God are children of God. So you have not received a spirit that makes you fearful slaves. Instead, you received God's Spirit when he adopted you as his own children. Now we call him, "Abba, Father."For his Spirit joins with our spirit to affirm that we are God's children. Romans 8:14-16

Adoption is something that Nick and I knew we wanted from the very beginning of our marriage. Nick specifically knew way earlier on in life than I did (this is something that he has wanted since he was a teenager). And if not now, then when right? Even though I feel overwhelmed by emotions sometimes, I know that this is something God wants us to do.

This is His situation.
He is our provider and He will get the glory.
