USCIS

I don't even know what it stands for. I just know it's one more step we have completed, which puts us a little closer to bringing home our child(ren).

Ready, Set, Go!

We are so excited to be adopting from Haiti! This whole blog thing is completely new to us, so it may take a little bit (or a lot) of time to get the hang of. We know that this is the best way to keep our family and friends in the loop with our adoption journey and are so excited that you want to be part of it! Through this blog, we pray that we can be an encouragement to you, on your journey as well, as we share our lives and our story with you! Keep us in your prayers as we pursue this wonderful calling that God has placed on our lives!
