Adoption Update - Another Milestone Reached

On Monday our social worker presented our homestudy before the Indiana Special Needs Adoption Program Specialists. The board voted to recommend us as an adoptive family!

I had tried to keep my mind off the proceedings all morning and was surprised when the voicemail came through. I shocked myself at my emotional reaction to the news. The children immediately started bouncing off the walls!

Now we can start searching for children. We pray that the Lord will guide every step (can we also pray for speed?)!
