Our Village & Joining Our Story

We've all heard the phrase, "It takes a village" and I've found that to be true time and time again in our parenting journey. I'm reminded of those who brought meals when Jacob was first placed in our home, those who prayed over us when we were struggling with the unknowns of the foster care system, those who helped us celebrate in the courthouse when his adoption was finalized, those who offered reassurance when I doubted my ability to actually birth a baby, and again those who came around us in countless ways when Griffin was born. You are our village. 

Jacob and Griffin have both stretched our faith. With Jacob, we learned to trust God with the unknowns and the timing. With Griffin, we learned to trust God with forming a baby in my womb and to protect us during complications. With this precious baby who we have the privilege of adopting, we are learning to trust that God will provide. He's shown Himself to be faithful already as we've been blown away by the generosity of those who have offered to donate items, time, resources, and talents to help us meet our fundraising goal. You, our village, have been Jesus to us.  

If you would like to join our story, here are some practical ways you can help us in the coming days.

First, we covet your prayers. Will you join us in praying for the continued health of the baby, peace for the expectant parents, and for a safe delivery?
