Realized I put my original announcement under International- but this was a domestic adoption! Mommy brain has set in

God brought us an early Christmas present, a “little king”! We are thrilled to introduce you to our son Ryan, who we brought home from Edmonton last week and is sticking around for the long haul! He has such an amazing testimony already and we are giving all the glory to God for “hiding him in his birth mother's womb”. We have waited 8 years for him, almost 2 years on the adoption list, but he was so worth it! Keep the faith, everyone- your day will come! Hugs to all!

BFN.Nov 2011- Pursuing private adoption through Christian Adoption Services.May 2012- Officially on the waiting list for CAS.See "About Me" page for specifics on our journey and continued updates.Believing that God WILL answer our prayers for children! He is the one who placed the desire for children in our hearts so we trust that it will happen.... in His time. The message that keeps coming is from Psalm 37:7 "Be still before the Lord and wait patiently for Him". December 2013- God has answered our prayers in a way we truly didn't think was possible- we brought home a little boy and survived the 10-day waiting period, lol. To Him be the glory- the testimony of this little one is amazing!
