We were talking about this earlier, and my husband said, God's timing is perfect. I need to remember that when I get impatient to get things started :) <br /><br />KaraAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9672908576255934.post-77524228941169072010-11-04T15:34:20.107-07:002010-11-04T15:34:20.107-07:00This is so where I am right now.

He will show us.<br /><br />I have had several friends adopt in my IRL too. Not to sound negative but it's no walk in the park and though I feel bad about it....I just get scared. Then I am reminded that I don't have grace for tomorrow yet but He will provide it. The timing of this is pretty amazing for me. He is always at work eh? Know that God WILL use this in many peoples lives, my friend.Sandihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12953023131915534135noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9672908576255934.post-43597893102985781332010-11-04T14:21:23.416-07:002010-11-04T14:21:23.416-07:00(oh: and thank you for your kind words, friend!)(oh: and thank you for your kind words, friend!)Stacyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13485518521402606014noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9672908576255934.post-80681787120260222832010-11-04T14:20:40.743-07:002010-11-04T14:20:40.743-07:00Cara~ You're my kind of girl. :)
Lucy~ Hell...Cara~ You're my kind of girl. :)<br /><br />Lucy~ Hello, sweet Lucy! That's sad that Aaron's mom had such a negative experience. :( Of course that would affect your view of adoption in general. <br />I'm not sure about the foster care question-- I would guess that if you were "parked" somewhere for a year or more and were licensed, they would place a child with you. (But that's just a guess...) I know that they are always desperate for families- so they would likely try to make it work! <br />Love to you and Aaron, Lucy (and sweet Eleanor, too!)Stacyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13485518521402606014noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9672908576255934.post-73631945853393958632010-11-04T12:56:09.344-07:002010-11-04T12:56:09.344-07:00wow Stacey you have really challenged me. Aaron an...wow Stacey you have really challenged me. Aaron and I have never talked about adoption. Aaron's Mum was adopted as a child and has had quite a negative experience, so that has always affected us I think. Also, we have moved about so much (USA, Canada, now UK, then who know??) that we've felt unstable ourselves, so would find it hard to bring a person into that instability (especially if they have been moved about in foster care before, etc). Do you know if foster agencies allow people without a permanent home to adopt? I'm just curious. <br />Anyway, I think I will ask Aaron to talk about this with me this week. Thanks for this series on adoption. I can't wait to hear more from others. <br />I'm so proud of you by the way. You really are God's hands in the world and I LOVE that about you. :-)Lucy Sherwoodnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9672908576255934.post-43703466264823664742010-11-04T07:30:46.357-07:002010-11-04T07:30:46.357-07:00"Don't you long for that kind of relation..."Don't you long for that kind of relationship with Jesus?"<br /><br />Yes, yes, yes!Carahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18183415494235734312noreply@blogger.com
