Well, you may have figured out what our announcement is by our blog name, I will just go ahead and tell you that we have decided to adopt a child from Ethiopia! We are so excited about welcoming another child into our home and hope that we can keep everyone updated on the process with this blog. We ask that you who choose to follow us on this blog would please consider lifting us up in prayer as we have begun this journey.
I know that some of you are probably thinking, "What is with the blog name? Does that mean they are only adopting boys?" No, we are not looking into adopting only a boy, in fact at this point we have no idea what gender our child will be! The name of our blog is from a passage in Galatians, that reveals our adoption as sons of God, when we become followers of Christ. This gives us a promise of hope and security in Him and we can only pray that our family will reflect Christ to those around us.
(And I apologize in advance for all the grammar mistakes that you are bound to encounter on this blog! Writing is not the method that either Brandon or I typically chose to express ourselves, so you will have to bare with us as we seek to expand our horizons. )

Brandon and Blair, I am thrilled for your family and we will be praying for you in the time of waiting and transition! Missing you!
ReplyDeleteBrandon and Blair, you know how I feel about adopted children. There is nothing in this world that can be more wonderful than adopting a child. Truly the saying "you didn't grow under my heart but in it" is perfect. I can't wait to hear more about it. I am so proud of both you for taking this step. I will be praying that God will bless you tremendously as you step out on faith. I love you.
