This momma just got an update on her baby…and she couldn’t be happier! Nope…no court date–YET. But pretty stinking good if you ask me! Just 2 months ago…little Isaac was unable to eat because of his severe malnourishment. Just 2 weeks ago, when we received his referral–his body couldn’t handle regular formula. He was only […]

Category Archives: Adoption Milestone I’ll be a little MIA this weekend. I’m busy working on a family album to give Isaac’s birth mother when she comes to the court appointment. His mother has a beautiful, but very sad story–and truly she was unable to care for him now and in the future. My heart is to create an album […] What beautiful pages! 🙂 “We both love the same little boy…and I will forever love his mommy for doing the best she knew how and waiting until she had no other option but me. But…Isaac was my first choice”…that couldn’t be a more beautiful and heartfelt sentiment. the pictures are lovely. The pages are beautiful indeed, but your words that explain your heart’s desire are even more powerful. I am particularly touched by your gratitude and adoration for Isaac’s courageous birth mother and your definition of a forever family who advocates for each other forever more. Your picture of earthly parenting perfectly imitates how our Heavenly Father parents us. Love the pics, Andrea. So beautiful and I’m sure his birthmom will think so too. We think often of our son’s birthmom in Guat (and now our future child’s in ET) and wish so much we could share the joy with her that he is in our family. I am so thankful you will be able to give her this amazing gift..and such a beautiful story to share with Isaac as he gets older! Love your heart! In Saturday’s scripture reading… Saul is chasing David…and David is literally running for his life. Just as Saul is about to catch up with and trap David…the Lord intervenes. The Lord sent an urgent message to Saul through his army that the Philistines were raiding Israel again. Saul had to immediately leave to go fight […] […] stand in complete awe of a Savior who does not slumber but fights on our behalf…who advocates for us…who in our weakness is made strong! Richard and I were talking tonight how the Lord has […]  Just tracked the delivery of THE package…our returned referral packet that will begin our wait for our court date and it is… On Schedule: In transit On FedEx vehicle for delivery by 4:30pm PORTLAND, OR YAY! It will arrive BEFORE their office closes today—so I hope our “next steps” conference call can be scheduled quickly […] oh this post is filled with so much FUN STUFF!!!! love that baby book… it’s the one i’m planning on getting… love the shirts! how awesome are they?! they’re beautiful, julie! praise the LORD isaac’s birthmom is a believer!!!! how amazing!!! and such a great idea to make two albums exactly alike so you can show isaac what his birthmom saw… oh, i’ve got to write that down! and your referral packet is there! WOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO! so many exciting things! Loved learning about Isaac’s birthmother. I cannot wait to see the album you put together. I am sure it will be beautiful and very easy to see the love you have for Isaac. I am so glad you like the album and that you already get to start filling it out. Looking forward to that day too 🙂 Of course I love Julie’s shirts she designed for you…fabulous! You know how Bonnie Hunt has her “feel good moment of the day?” This was like a feel good post of the day! Andrea – i love your posts!~ I love starting and ending my day with them:). I love them shirts, love the book, love your outings!~ Our God is amazing – how He has been with both you and Isaac’s birth mother, moving in both of you – AWE-INSPIRING!!!

Andrea,
You have been on my heart SO MUCH lately and I have been trying to get into your blog to hear UPDATES on your adoption, and how you were doing. SOME HOW I still had the OLD address saved… and it was killing me not knowing what was going on with your adoption. 🙂
About a month and a half ago.. I was in deep prayer late at night, and it was SO precious. I was in prayer and all of a sudden, your precious face was in my mind.. God had placed you on my heart to pray for you. I don’t know what it was about.. but I prayed-prayed-and prayed for you & your family. God always knows our needs, and I LOVE that He looks to His people to lift up those around us. I’ve prayed for you so many times…. but I hadn’t been able to check on you for awhile.. but then POOF 🙂 there you are in my prayers.. all designed by God. He is SO good to us all.
I wanted to share with you because how cool is that???? 🙂 I am SOOOOO glad that thanks to “Lucy Lane’s” blog, I was directed to your new site. I had it under my “favorites” but my oh my, I need to clean/oraganize that out… I coudln’t find you for the life of me (smile). I am catching up now, my friend… YOU HAVE YOUR REFERRAL and this just makes my heart just SMILE & SCREAM with joy for you! I’ve been reading your blog since you first started the process… and I am SOOOO excited for you to meet that precious little Issac!
I’m off to continue reading….. 🙂 ((HUGS))…..
