Tonight my dear husband and I slipped out into our back yard while the kids were sleeping. The stars were so bright, and as we looked at them I said how beautiful they are ... and isn't is amazing to think that these very same stars are shining on Haiti, and possibly on our son if he is already born??
I told my husband how every night I feel discouraged, like this adoption is so far-fetched and can never happen ... yet every morning I wake up feeling like it IS a reality and WILL come to pass.
Are we crazy?? (That's something else I asked him tonight.) Thankfully, he thinks we are not. We're just trying something new to us, he said. And when I asked my sister the same thing, she replied that people ought not think us crazy because "everyone knows" that this (adopting another child) is something we have wanted to do for a long time!
My sister also says that I, of all people, should not be worrying about the finances because I have personally seen God work miracles in that area with our other adoptions. But what can I say ... I'm human! This is a lot more money that we've needed in the past.
I know God is able. (I especially know this in the mornings.) But I want to know for sure that He is willing. (I think about this at night ...)

It is of the LORD's mercies that we are not consumed, because his compassions fail not.
They are new every morning: great is thy faithfulness.

Hi. I am adopting twins from Haiti through For His Glory. Who are you adopting through? We got first legal in June and went into IBESR Aug 31 and are still there with a long road ahead.
