Hello...feeling a bit overwhelmed, I know I'm not alone!

Thanks, Withay! I appreciate that encouragement...this place is turning out to be a great resource!

We were where you are in July '10. We looked at the paperwork and cost and felt overwhelmed and frustrated. We finally looked at each other and laughed. Why do we need to worry? We need to turn it over to God! We prayed about our adoption journed and felt we were led to drop the agency and do foster/adopt locally. We started foster parent program thru DHR. We learned so much! They did our backgrounds, fingerprints, physicals, homestudy, and CPR class FREE. In week 5 of the 10 week class, we were contacted by a family friend. She knew someone that was placing a child. Long story short, God led us to this young couple on September 2 and on October 5, we attended the birth of our beautiful son. We discovered that in August, as we were having work done to our home, the birthfather actually hung the sheetrock in my son's room. He was working in our home because the contractor (who is also a preacher) brought him to work as a favor! Yes, they know where we live, they live 20 miles from us, and yes, we stay in contact (limited). Funniest God moment? Birthparents and both siblings are blonde as is my hubby. I am brunette/blue eyes. Our son - burnette/blue eyes. Hehehehe! Our son is the love of our lives and all of the frustrations and trials seem trivial now. I am 40, my hubby 47. I feel that if I had "pushed God's hand" and pursued another options, it would not have been this "easy". I tell you this to say that you should trust God completly. Don't go half way. His plan is perfect. Need encouragment or prayer, feel free to PM me or post here! This is a great site for it!! Good luck and God bless!

WOW! That timeline is stunning! I will pm you definitely! But, I will just say here, I know that I know that I know God has a plan...and He already has a child He wants to place in our care! Ours will be a story of Him using "Broken vessels" =) to further His kingdom...I can just feel it! =) More in the pm! Thanks so much!!

I'm excited for you! We first wanted to fost-adopt an Asian baby-girl aged 0-2. When we were told that it would be close to impossible to have that preference met, we opened ourselves up to short-term and emergency-shelter foster care. God gave us 5 little ones to care for, one after the other. We waited almost 2 months for our first placement. We have two young bio sons and our third was to be born in December of 2009. Our 13-month-old foster daughter was moved to another home 2 weeks before our third son was born. We thought we would take a break, since I would be way too tired to care for 4 little ones. So I guess God already planned for my tiredness, because 6 months later he sent us a 15-year-old Asian girl! Well we NEVER imagined that we would be open to a teenager since our kids are still all age 5 and under. Our daughter has been with us for almost 8 months now and we would have it no other way. We don't know if she will decide to be adopted into this family, but it just goes to show you that even though our profile said one thing, the agency still asked if we would be open to someone entirely different. Praise God for His perfect timing and placements!

Praying with you!

Thank you, lellis! =)

Just wanted to say that you are absolutely not alone! Pray for me, I'll pray for you! :-)

Thank you, Abijac! It's a deal!!

We all can pray for each other, because there is great power in prayer. Where two or more together.... I believe there is a reason for everything. We switched agencies, and I am praying for the journey to really begin.

Considering the above [URL=http://www.nyasianescortservice.com/]new york asian escorts[/URL] mentioned, we can come to the conclusion that to give up wisely is a kind of [URL=http://www.nyasianescortservice.com/]new york escorts[/URL] more mature life attitude. Though giving up sometimes is [URL=http://www.nyasianescortservice.com/]ny escorts[/URL] painful and costly,in the long run what we [URL=http://www.nyasianescortservice.com/]nyc escorts[/URL] gain will definitely far out weight what we lose.

@ 2bblessed2...I hear you! We will all just keep walking...and keep praying!

That is wonderful, mymusic! =) Many blessings!

I had my first visit with the Case Worker, it was awesome! I go to church with her daughter's mother-in-law, and know her daughter, thru her. We know many of the same people. She left, leaving us with a warm fuzzy feeling about the whole thing.

Just read your post I know it's been awhile but I wanted you to know I will be praying for you and your family. Prayer has definitley been what's gotten us thru our Journey to this point.;) God is good! and he has a special plan in each of our adoption journeys.:cheer: Many blessings..Philippians 4:6-7
