We just started telling our church family on Sunday that we are trying to adopt a 12 year old girl at the same time we adopt Adam. We plan on naming this girl Megan. I am sure that there are those who are wondering why we would adopt an
almost-teenager as well as an 11 year old. We feel that God has called us to adopt these two children.
I read something on a blog about a family that adopted a 13 (almost 14) year old girl last year. The mother of this family gave me permission to post it here. This is her response when people question their decision "It was not what we were planning to do. It was what we were called to do. And we could not ignore that call." Mark and I both feel called by God to adopt these children and we cannot ignore that call. God's callings are not always easy but we believe that God will give us the strength that we need.
We covet your prayers as we work to add these children to our family.

So grateful that you are following God's calling for you! May you experience the many blessings of this call on your lives. He is worthy, isn't He?! You will have so much fun with your new son and daughter!
