On June 28th I read a blog and saw a precious picture that changed my life.  As I read this blog and looked at the pictures of the precious child that the blog was referring to, I felt God's presence.  Ask about him!

I talked with my husband about it and after he spent time in the Word and praying, he told me to inquire about this precious little boy.  I got in contact with the agency, read the requirements, look at more pictures and videos.  Each time I see this child I am a roller coaster of emotions.

Today I took the first step in starting the adoption process.  Today I filled out our family information form and submitted it to the adoption agency.  As I filled it out I was filled with excitement and wonder.  It is still not certain if we will be able to adopt him or not.  There are several road blocks (mainly financial).  But I know that I serve a God who sees no road blocks.  A God that can make things happen that we could never imagine.

I know that this child was put in my life for a reason.  I am hoping that reason is so we can bring him into our family.  But if that is not the reason, I am okay with it.  God has already placed a desire to promote advocacy for orphans on my heart.  If God's only purpose for me in this process is to promote advocacy for orphans or to help orphans find forever families, then I will be honored that he chose me.

Pure and undefiled religion before God and the Father is this: to visit orphans and widows in their trouble, and to keep oneself unspotted from the world.  James 1:27

An Update on Our Adoption Journey

By Home with Tracy
We have come to the decision to stop the adoption process of Lucas. It was not a decision that we came to quickly. It was not an easy decision. It was a decision that breaks the heart of each one of us in our family. We have shed many tears and I am sure we will shed many more. Our children still include him in their prayers every night and talk about him often. To us, he was already a member of our family. There are many factors that we took into consideration before making this decision. We are all hurting and feeling the loss of this precious little boy. We already had Lucas in our home and our hearts. I cry when I look at his bed that we already had made for him, just waiting for him to come home so we could tuck him in. Even though we feel this is the right decision, there is a big part of me that is still hoping and praying for a miracle to happen so we can bring him home. I am not going to go into great detail about the specifics. If you would like to know more, please...

Letting go of the boy, so he can become a man.

By Home with Tracy
Rain! We thought the rain would never stop. It seemed to rain every day for over a week. All the while, our lawn continued to grow and grow. When there was finally a break in the rain, the lawn seemed to stand two feet tall. Our oldest son has taken on the responsibility of mowing the lawn. He was so happy when his dad told him that he could mow on his own. He longs to please his dad. He longs to make him happy. He longs for his approval. Of course, he doesn't have to mow in order to do or receive any of those things. He has been a daddy's boy since the day he came into the world and we found out we had a son. Our son went out to tackle mowing the lawn. He had been asking me every day if he could mow and today I was finally able to say yes, that it was dry enough. He had been out there mowing for about 20 minutes when he came in for a drink. He was dripping with sweat. My heart sunk for my boy, for how difficult the task he was attempting to complete. I told him that I...

Romania... are you sure?

By
A few weeks back I received a call from one of our church members telling me that God put my name on his heart during his prayer time that morning and he wanted me to pray about going to Romania. WHAT??? I can't go to Romania, I have 4 children, I can't leave them for a week! I, of course, did not say this to him, I instead said that I would pray about it. Immediately I sent my husband an email telling him about the phone call. He instantly sent me a message back asking what we had to do to make it happen. Wait a minute....he does realize the kids aren't going with me, doesn't he? That evening we were sitting with our children looking at the globe. We showed them where they were born and where they live now. Suddenly, my youngest daughter spins the globe, points her little finger and says "where is that". Of all places, she pointed to Romania. I have often told friends that I need a postcard of clarity from God. I think that was definitely a postcard in the fo...
