Adoption

For he chose us in him before the creation of the world to be holy and blameless in his sight. In love
he predestined us to be adopted as his sons through Jesus Christ, in accordance with his pleasure and will-
to the praise of his glorious grace, which he has freely given us in the One he loves. Eph. 1:5

Adoption is one of the foundations of out faith We are adopted into the family of Christ and receive an unconditional love. And have the amazing privilege of calling the creator of the Universe Abba Father.

From the time that Charlie and I were dating it has been on our hearts to adopt. Through our work in youth ministries we have seen the pain that children go though of not having people to call mom and dad or a place that they can say is there home and it is our hearts to give a couple of these sweet Little ones a place that is there own. And we are so excited about this adventure. This is a topic that is so close to my husbands heart, the person that he calls dad is his dad in every way except by blood, and it is so important to charlie for people to understand that the person who loved him and supported home for most of his life is to him his dad not his step dad. And its important to him to give that same kind of unconditional love to the children that the Lord brings into our home. So we have began the process we are making our first attempt at finding out more information on two little boys who are currently in foster care. They are a little older then we had first planned but we have a total peace about it and are moving forward. We have no idea where this will lead us but we are confident that all is in God's hands and that he will provide the very best home for these little boys and our hearts desire is that happens even if it is not our home that they come too.
