Our nerves are alittle more at ease. Yesterday a representative from Gateway Woods came to our home and spoke with us as a part of the Home Study. We did not really know what to expect but it went well. We have a few more items to give her before she can complete the Home Study.
As this process goes on I find myself trying to stay focus on why were are doing this. I get frustrated with the process and want it to go well. I am not one that enjoys fund raising, it is some peoples calling, its definitely not mine. But I have found that these moments of being uncomfortable I am learning to rely on God more and more to get us through. We have been blessed with friends and family members constant support and prayers. The more we pray and reflect on why we believe God has called us to adopt the more excited we are to see our new son or daughter. We truly believe that this is not an Adam and Amanda thing, this is a God thing.
We ask you to pray for us. Pray for the next step. Pray for our relationship, that we are able to support each other through the process. Pray that we will receive the financial support that we need to complete this adoption. And most of all, pray for our son or daughter, give him or her hope that there is a family that will love them and take care of them.

Praying that you will rely on Him and learn more than you ever imagined He would want to teach you. There is nothing magical about adoption, it is simply amazing obedience that changes lives. But orphans and adoption are close to the heart of God so as you walk this journey you will be near His heart and that is the best place to be.
