Josiah’s Gotcha Slideshow

Posted by Mary Beth on Wednesday, August 4th, 2010

I can’t believe we get to do this again. Even though this is our second adoption, it’s still frightening, as I assume it would be the third, fourth, or fifth time. It’s always scary to step out in faith into the unknown. But what we DO know is that God is, has been, and will [...]

I realized tonight that I can either absolutely lose my mind worrying [...]

No News

Thursday, April 30th, 2009

No news on baby Josiah yet (by the way, that’s what we’ve named him, Josiah means “God will save”). We’re still waiting to hear when our court date will be. In the meantime, Josiah should be getting a little treat in the mail someday soon. We sent him a picture book with pictures of the [...]

REFERRAL!!!

Tuesday, April 7th, 2009

We are overwhelmed, blessed, and absolutely overjoyed to announce that we have received our referral! Monday evening, I got a call from Holt telling us that they had a baby boy waiting for us. He is 2 1/2 months old and itty bitty, but absolutely precious! My arms are already aching for him! I got [...]
