More for the family

After having Alli we were sure that we were done having kids.  Funny how God works, he put it on our hearts that He was not done with our family.  Over time, he also made it clear that His plan was not for us to have any more biological children.  I have to admit that adoption was not really something I was interested in until somewhat recently.  Shabree has thought about adoption for a long time, but we are now convinced that this is a reality for us.  As much as we would like to have more children of our own, the need for adoptive parents is tremendous.  The numbers are staggering at over 145 million orphans in the world.

We are excited about bringing another child into our home and sharing the love that God has given us.  There is no way to predict the challenges and joys that are to come with this new chapter in our lives, but we can't wait to see what God has planned.
