Laughter has come

The words "I'm in" have a quiet power

Bob Goff

Sometimes it is the power to change our lives forever.

                                                                                                                                                                      

If you know Jay and I, you know that we rarely say "No". We desire to live lives that are open to new people and new experiences. Life in Christ is life abundant. We also knew when it came to our adoption, we would need to deeply consider our "Yes" as it would be one that would alter the rest of our lives.

To our absolute shock, that moment to say "yes" or "no" came a lot sooner than we had expected.  On Thursday, October 11, we received a phone call from Bethany telling us about a "gift baby" that was to be born that day or the next. Our adoption worker told us about the family and the circumstances and a little about why we were being called as we hadn't even received our completed home study yet.

Jay and I talked, prayed, jumped around, called some friends who have had made this decision for counsel, prayed some more, called the adoption worker with more questions, and soon we both reached a very confident "YES - we're in"

In my previous post I mentioned that Bethany said we would have baby by the end of the year instead it ended up being by the end of the week!

World, meet Isaac!
