One week ago today we were blessed with a son! As I hold my son in my arms this very moment, I am utterly amazed that I am finally a mommy!!! It still hasn't sunk in yet that we get to keep Eli! Little Eli has been a big blessing to us in so many ways. Looking back at the 2011 and 2012 placements is a reminder of how God didn't want us to have any of those children except for our Eli. We are also humbled that wonderful and selfless birth parents made us a part of their son's adoption plan! Thank you, Birth Parents!

Updates on our adoption events, parenting experiences, and pictures are coming soon!

Covenant Care's 22nd Placement of 2012 - 12/21/12



God is in Control!

We were halfway to Macon and our caseworker called us and told us that our placement has been moved to 10:30 tomorrow morning because of some risks. The birth mom is having some reservations. She has until midnight tonight to change her mind. Pray hard!!!!!!

Our Christmas Blessing

I love the Christmas season because of the extra intentional time to focus on Christ’s birth and the amazing gift God gave to us through Christ. I am humbled and in awe at the fact that God the Father loved His son and us so much that He made the parental sacrifice of allowing Mary and Joseph the opportunity to parent Jesus. Through that sacrifice, the later sacrifice of the cross emerged to grant us all the opportunity to be parented by God if we choose to be a part of His forever family. This truth means more to me this Christmas than it ever has in my entire life. My husband and I received a life-changing call on Dec. 18th letting us know that a mom and dad love their son so much that they made the parental sacrifice of allowing my husband and me the opportunity to parent their son! We will meet our son today and take him home and be his forever family! Adoption – it’s the Gospel! I’m so thankful God has allowed me to be a part of His amazing plan. The wait – worth it!
