My new year's resolution was to "love extravagantly." Little did I know that God would ask me to fulfill that new year's resolution so quickly in 2014. On December 17th, we received a forwarded email from a friend that read, "The most beautiful set of brown eyes met me at my inbox today. A one month old baby boy in Haiti who is HIV+, but otherwise healthy and in a great orphanage. If you are considering special needs Haiti adoption let me know." For the last year, we have been looking to adopt older kids from the foster care system, but we weren't committed to anything. This certainly wasn't on our radar. Special needs wasn't and baby definitely wasn't.
But when I read that email something leaped in my spirit, tears streamed down my face and I knew we had to inquire. A few email exchanges back and forth and on December 26th we received an email asking us to submit our application so we can move forward to adopt this child (apparently people aren't lining up to adopt HIV+ babies, so they didn't have many options besides us). The other catch is we would have to move fairly quickly, which also means "hurry up and wait" as adoptions take a long time in Haiti.
So here we are starting this new journey in our lives holding on to the hope we have in Jesus and the fact that HE is ultimately writing our story. As my friend Tiffany said, "It is not so much our story as it is God's story and it only becomes ours as He writes us into it." I pray this story is one full of hope, redemption, love and healing. Not just for our family and our soon to be son's, but for every person who reads this and becomes part of this journey with us.
I hope to share as much as possible with you on this blog. Please keep our family in your prayers and stay tuned...
