A God Walk.....For sure......

Where do we start......Adoption isn't for the faint in heart. While adoption is a great thing for the people of God to do unfortunately adoption can also bring out the greed in people. Before you begin your adoption journey...do as much research as possible about the different country programs, agencies etc. I would even tell you to find FB groups, yahoo groups and such before you get started with the process. You will find vital information on programs, agencies, POA and much more. This will help you to make a educated decision.

Now on to our news....Tyvon and I have been praying about 2 boys on our current agencies waiting list. One night we both prayed and wrote down what we where hear....I put on my paper...God will put our son just like he picked our bio girls. Therefore we were still not confident in really going forward with either boy. Not watch how this story turns......

Drumroll.......Last night Tyvon and I made a heard decision to switch agencies. There are various reasons for our decision but the main and most important one is a little boy I fell in love with. I saw this little boy back in December in a group I'm a part of and show him to Tyvon....saying to him "He is such a cutie!" The problem....he was with another agency and we are with another agency and we are considering another boy and money and and and. So I just shrugged if off. Then last week, the little boy E came back up again as a child still waiting and my heart melt. So Tyvon and I talked about it again. We contacted the agency and to our surprise the switching process was going to be easy and bigger than that.....WE WOULD NOT be losing money. We were about to send our agency an amount with our dossier which was the same amount that we need to go with this agency. MY GOD....he sure knows how to give us solid answers.

And today...we officially committed to E and are planning to head to Ghana in the Spring!! He is a 4 year old precious boy... 

This agency is awesome and we are excited about how on top of things they are. They have solid history in Ghana: our new agency is About A Child. We have such a feeling of peace that this is where God wants us and the direction He would have us to follow.

I will leave you with a verse a friend shared with me about adoption journeys.....A man’s mind plans his way, but the Lord directs his steps and makes them sure: Proverbs 16:9. In her words...Many are the plans of a man's heart but it is the LORD who directs his steps.

Until next time....
