One Decision Down

I am so happy to be able to share this news...we have made a decision!!!  We are definitely going with international adoption.  I am so excited about this.  It's amazing to see how God has brought us to this point.  When we first started talking about adoption, we quickly turned our heads at international adoption.  I don't even really remember why we quickly made that decision, but it had a lot to do with what other people might think.  God has used the last couple of years to change our hearts and to really show us that the people that mean the most in our lives don't care what color skin our child has or where they come from. 

After we met with Nebraska Children's Home we spent a lot of time talking about our options and we kept coming back to the fact that babies that need an adoptive family in the United States have lots available.  Unlike babies born overseas, where they typically end up in orphanages.  We feel that God has given us a heart for international adoption and we feel that we can make a bigger difference for a child who is not born in the United States.

Now for the next big decision...we have to choose which country we want to adopt from.  We have several that we are currently talking about.  All have pros and cons.  I am not quite ready to share that yet. But please be praying for us as we continue to make big decisions for an adoption. 

Blessings, megan
