Adoption Encouragement

Jon and I have a desire to one day adopt. We want to give a home and forever family to a child who needs one. There are children all over the world in need of loving families to take them in. It is our hope and prayer that we will be able to proceed with adoption sometime in the not so distant future.
The cost of adoption and often the waiting period for placement of children can be discouraging. We would love to adopt from China, but with the high cost and long wait period we have been open to other options. I was reading a friend's blog, Momfessions, and came across an encouraging story about adoption. This family has been waiting for 32 months to bring their little Abigail home from China. Their story is one of trust and waiting on the Lord. It encouraged me to be patient and also to TRUST the Lord that in His time, He will work out our desire to adopt according to His plan.
Melissa and her family look forward to bringing their little girl home. She is selling name signs to raise money for Abigail's adoption. Check out her story and even the chance to win one of her signs when you visit Momfessions!
