Someone pressured me to update about our meeting 😉
So here it goes…
The agency is very small (the director and one intern), which I like. She really sat down to answer all of the questions we had but I left thinking I was more confused than before…no fault of her own.
I guess I just want things to be concrete, difinitive, clear-cut…and I always come up with questions, concerns, or doubt. What’s new, huh!?
There were a few out-of-state fees that we weren’t expecting but other than that, everything went as expected.
I did start looking into a local (bigger) agency today. I just don’t know that I like the feel of a bigger agency and there were more up-front costs. So…all of that to say…I have no idea, Lord! We need guidance, direction, and reassurance. As I’ve said before, I don’t want the money to be the issue. Right now it’s our only hindurance…
So, on that note, be in prayer for God’s Provision…that he will supply every bit of what we need…for his glory.
P.S.
Pray for those letters! I’m certain that some of them arrived today, that more will be arriving tomorrow, and I mailed about 20 more this morning.

Christie ~ Praying in confidence for you on many levels! I know that God will show you…we were all set on what we were going to do for this adoption, but truly, something wasn’t sitting right with me. The application set on the dresser instead of being put in the mail (my husband even knew something wasn’t right just for the fact that if I have paperwork to send, it’s done & sent yesterday!) As you know, God revealed our little boy to us, & it was absolutely nothing like what we expected!! Hmmm, that’s becoming a theme b/c our first adoption was supposed to be a teen boy & we ended up fostering (& eventually adopting) a newborn girl. So thankful every day for His plans; they’re way better than mine!
Christie, I am so looking forward to watching God move as you step out in faith!!!

I didn’t really dig into it, but a while back I had met a family that had received an adoption grant through Chapman’s ministry.
i’m so proud of you for sending it out! you are doing the right thing by allowing God’s people to take part in caring for His children. Not all can adopt, but all can do something. know that i’m thinking & praying, megan
