Here We Go

I cannot believe I am saying that tomorrow at this time I will be high in the sky on my way to India to be united with my son. April 2012 seems like a dream. I never imagine when I started my homestudy that God would choose such a perfect child for me. He has no idea of the love that is waiting for him on the side of the world. I am so very humbled by what amazing friends and family that I have. Elliotts story has even touched some strangers who have prayed and donated along the way.

The reality is setting in that not only am I taking the trip of a lifetime to but I will come home with a child in my arms. Those that know my mom know what a heart of gold she has. She flew in today to begin this journey with me and she is so excited to meet her grandbaby. Her job is easy on this trip, keep me calm! Okay I am lying because those that know me know I have been anything but calm these last few days. She has a tough job ahead of her but she is ready to go. I could not have asked for a better mom. She is amazing in everything she does. And how can I forget my dad who is equally amazing and loves his grandson so much already. Poppy and Gigi have already begun the spoiling.

One week ago I was told Elliott's passport was ready and now here I am all packed and ready to go. Is a lie here tonight the only thing I really am thinking is complete awe of my Lord. He is perfect pick for me could not be any better. I love my son more than I ever thought imaginable and I have not even touched him yet.

Please continue to pray for me on this journey to motherhood. Please pray for Elliotts heart that is going to forever change. The world he knows and has lived in for 2 1/2 years will be ripped from him and he will not see the end result yet.  My dear sweet boy I promise you I will do everything in my power to raise you and I will love you to eternity and back.

The Power of Prayer

Okay you might want to sit down relax and make some popcorn because this is going to be a long post, but it will be well worth it I promise. I started this adoption process June 2012. I was told since I was going to special-needs route, I could have a child home within a year.  That proved to be false. In December 2013 with no child in sight, I started to become very down and out. I cried out to God and ask him to heal me and to show me what his path for me was. I belong to a few site specific to adoption with the country I have chosen. There is one specifically with less than 10 members all who are waiting for referrals. These girls have and continue to support and pray for me they in and day out. One of them who has now become my dear friend, posted that there were several cute children who are waiting for families. She showed me a picture of a little boy with curly hair, the date was January 6th. My heart started beating fast, I could not look away, I began to get very anxious. ...

Home Stretch

To my close friends and family, it is no new news that this school year has been a trying one. It seems that since I started back in late August, things were not going my way. Between several adoption road blocks, I have had a situation with a parent where God was called upon more often than not. This situation almost caused health problems. It was not until I chose to give it to God, that I learned to live with it. It is bewildering to me that their our people that do not believe in God. How do they get up and face their days?  The adoption process has taught me to look to God in all times, not just bad times. Well with the school year winding down, and a stomach bug that wasted two of my days this week, I can breathe. I have 28 fourth graders, 28 opinionated, energetic, amazing fourth graders. I can't believe we only have 2 more days together. Today we had field day,while other classes where running around misbehaving, my kiddos were having organized fun.  What a bond we sha...

Orphan Sunday

As you may or not be aware, today is Orphan Sunday. This is a day to recognize the millions of orphans in the world. By the way, that is not a typo, there are hundreds of millions of orphans in this world. While I love that this day brings awareness to families about adoption, it is bittersweet to me. I have been waiting for over a year for an orphan to call my child. One orphan, that is all I pray for. There is no doubting this process is difficult, I have shared that many times over. Over this past year, I have seen everyone in my adoption world have some progress. Everyone but me, and my sweet friend Amanda. We are stuck before we are even given the chance for a referral. Today I want to humbly as all of you for prayers. Let's storm the gates of Heaven for God to make me a mother. I will be honest and share that I am very broken inside. Unlike the majority of the adoption world, I am single and have no children. I am not distracted by the day to day life of my family.  Today...
