Both Michael and I have a heart for the fatherless and have been praying about adoption for several years. I began praying about adopting when I was little girl. The Lord planted in my little heart the love for orphans and the desire to bring one home as my own. When Michael and I were dating and began to get serious, I told him that adoption has always been on my heart and asked him to pray about it before we could talk about getting married.
The Lord is so good and was already working in Michael’s heart and opening his eyes to the needs of the fatherless. As I prayed that the Lord would direct our hearts in the same direct, the Lord moved Michael’s heart for adopting. Now years later we are finally pursuing both our dreams of bringing home our baby we’ve prayed for.
