Frequently Asked Question

Many of you are asking us about how we came to decide to adopt and I'd love to tell you all, so here it is once and for all!

As many of you know our old house was pretty small. Too small to even hold the conversation of having more kids! So Caleb and I started up the conversation here at our new house. But we keep getting stuck about what to do because of my varicose veins. My legs got so bad my first pregnancy and then so much worse my second it only stands to reason (and family and medical history backs this up) that more pregnancies would continue to deteriorate the veins in my legs. So we came to a stand still in our conversation. Then our church did a week long fast in the beginning of March. Usually when Caleb and I fast we are seeking God on some topic, like when our house architect plans were a mess and we didn't know what to do we fasted for a week and were seeking God about it and we both felt like we were supposed to move. But here we were just fasting with the church with no particular "subject" in our prayer. The last day of the fast was a Sunday and at Church I just overwhelmingly felt like we were supposed to adopt. Now at first I thought China, but we don't meet qualifications (we both would need to be at least 30 years old). But I don't think the country was what God was trying to relate to me just that we were to adopt. So I told God to tell Caleb too. And I gave Caleb a heads up: "God's gonna be talking to you, so listen up!" Then Caleb started researching adoption online while at work. And here we are!
