For I know the plans I have for you, declares the Lord, plans for wholeness and not for evil, to give you a future and a hope. (Jer 29:11)

Some news

It is time to make our baby girl name official!  After much consideration, and lots of ridiculous suggestions, we have all decided to name our baby girl Tessa.  The kids are happy with the name even if Banana or Santa or Godzilla might have been top of their list.

Here is the latest.  On Thursday our agency here let us know about an agency in Georgia that has a program for babies abandoned in local medical facilities.  They are looking for adoptive parents for these cases and also for other situations that may be difficult to place.  I contacted the agency yesterday and was told that there are several situations that may be a fit for us.  I do not have any specifics, but we are filling out paperwork to begin the pre-application process with this agency.  We do not know if this is where we will find baby Tessa, but we are eager to find out more and see if this is where God is leading us.  As always, we appreciate your prayers for wisdom.

Where we are now

I spoke with our home study agency today and all our paperwork is in and all that is left is for the home study to be written up.  Our wonderful social worker will complete this process for us so we are just going to wait for now.

Here is the family picture we plan to send out to agencies and adoption lawyers once the home study is complete and we are ready for placement.  A dear friend took this picture for us while our families were at the park last evening.



This summer the Denver zoo had Lego sculptures up as exhibits.  The kids loved looking for them as we made our way around the zoo.
