Many of you probably remember that in mid March we received an unexpected phone call that presented the possibility of adopting a soon-to-be born baby girl in Mobile. We trusted God and obeyed His call to go to Mobile. In the end, we didn't adopt that sweet baby girl, but we felt like God really used us to witness to the birth mom in a way that would, hopefully, have a life long impact. Go here to read the first chapter in this story of God's faithfulness.
Now, on to chapter two. Our friend, Amanda, called today to let me know that that sweet baby girl has been adopted. It's a long story and not without some of the same drama we experienced, but it is such a blessing to know that she will be loved, cared for and nourished like she should be. Amanda did say that she is developmentally delayed and slightly malnourished because of the circumstances in which she has lived these last five months, so please pray for her to grow and learn and for her forever family to grow with love for her everyday.
Thank you for walking through this experience with us. It has truly been amazing to obey God's call and, now, to be able to look back and see His hand in every step of the process. We are so thankful to have been used in this little girl's life.
Peace for 2016...

Isn't amazing how God gives you peace when He closes a door and is faithful in opening the other door. All in His perfect timing! Amazing timeline to your story.
