Tuesday Testimony – Tuesdays are dedicated to sharing some of the stories of our Katelyn's Fund Grant Recipients – may you be blessed through their stories…. We are so excited and grateful that you are giving us the opportunity to share a little bit about ourselves and how God has led us to start our family through the avenue of adoption. We are from the Pacific Northwest section of Washington. On March...
Tuesday Testimony – Tuesdays are dedicated to sharing some of the stories of our Katelyn's Fund Grant Recipients – may you be blessed through their stories…. Our journey toward adoption has taken many twists and turns over the last few years. We had talked about adopting before we were married but never really took it any other further than that. After we were blessed with our 4 children, we really had thought we were...
An innocent fly buzzed across our table last night only to cause one of our children to practically have a panic attack. This tiny fly brought on tears, screaming, and intense fear. I was stunned and did not really know what to do (it is just a fly after all, right?). I let the fly crawl on me to show our kids that it was harmless. I told them it was a...
I'm a visual person. I like to teach with visuals, and I like to be taught with visuals. So when I read my devo this morning, it really resonated with me. Not just because it was relevant, but also because it was visual. The author shared an illustration of a burial. It could be an offense, a burden, a hurt.
We are currently leading a series for adoptive/foster parents at our church and one of the things that came up was that maybe our churches would like to know better how to come alongside our adoptive/foster families. This was a BIG thought to me – so what we hope to do is ask our families what are things they would find helpful?? Someone to take their kids for a break, help driving to appointments, etc. I am excited about this...
What’s behind the scenes? That’s the question I’ve learned to ask. Although I have to admit, sometimes I ask it later than I should.
Being disrespectful?
What’s behind the scenes…
Glaring at me? Rolling of the eyes?
What’s behind the scenes…
Having a short fuse?
Tuesday Testimony is an opportunity for us to share some of our grant recipient's testimonies. May you be blessed by their stories. We knew we wanted to build our family through both biological children and adoption. When we found out we were pregnant with our first child, our adoption was put on hold. Requirements soon changed and we were allowed to continue our...
Have you heard of babywearing? Prior to adopting our daughter, I had not heard the term. I had seen people with their babies hanging off the front of them in Baby Bjorn carriers, and maybe a few granola moms with their babies in what's called a ring sling, but babywearing? What in the world is that? I should state for the record that I consider myself to be a bit of a granola mom. We eat as much organic as...
The conversation about ethics and international adoption has been raging since an EJ Graff article entitled, "The Lie We Love" came out in 2008. This article has been hotly debated in adoption circles as well as in Christian circles since then. A recent article in the same vein recently appeared in The Nation entitled, "The Evangelical Adoption Crusade " by Kathryn Joyce. This article has also been lighting up social media, blogs and conversations since it appeared...
And the God of all grace, who called you to his eternal glory in Christ, after you have suffered a little while, will himself restore you and make you strong, firm and steadfast. 1 Peter 5:10 Your attitude should be the same as...
