The Next Step

We are looking forward to moving forward to the next step. Tuesday we begin our Home Study. A person from Gateway Woods will be coming to our home to meet and learn more about our family. During the home study they will talk to each of us individually. We are a little nervous because we do not really know what to expect and we want everything to run smoothly.

Please keep us in your thoughts and prayers. We are very excited to move forward one more step closer to meeting our new son or daughter.

Kids shirts will be posted soon. They make great Christmas gifts.

Journey

A few years ago we met we a family that adopted two children from Ethiopia.  We began to talk about how that event would effect the life of those children. We would talk about "some day" doing something like that.  It was only in passing and we did not think much of it.  Then we began to feel that God may be calling us to look into adopting.  We were too busy and the money was not there.  We again felt God talking to us.  It was still not the right time.  God began to really talk to Adam.  He would mention it in passing, but never push the issue.  Adam began to find himself in prayer and feeling that God was serious.  This was not a fad, this was not a passing feeling, God was talking.  Adam was sitting reading the paper and he read an article about Ethiopian adoption.  He simply cut it out and gave it to Amanda to read.  Amanda placed the article on the fridge next to the coffee pot.  Everyday Amanda would look at the article and pray. She would simply say, "if this is your will put it in my heart."  Be careful what you ask for be He did just that.  God began to put people in her life that had experienced adoption, were talking about adoption or simply brought up the conversation about adoption.  God began to move in Adam and Amanda's heart. 

They found themselves in the right place, on their knees and in the scripture.  Adam and Amanda began to pray constantly about adoption and God continued to speak to them and bring things into their life that affirmed that this was His will.  God was calling them to bring a child into their home to love and make their own.

We have created this site to ask for your help.  We desperately need your prayers, thoughts and your support. International adoption carries a heavy price tag but we believe that God will provide.  If you feel that you can support us, God bless you.  If you feel that this is not a good time for you, we understand and your prayers are a blessing. 

Thank you and God Bless,
Adam and Amanda Brown
