We finally received our agency contract today and have taken a big step forward in our process. We now know where we will be adopting from! Drum roll please. The answer is ---------
Haiti!
The new member of our family will not look at all like our other children, which will be a huge change for us. As those of you who know us well can testify all four of our bio kids look enough alike to be twins if they were the same age. Several people have actually mistaken our youngest two (who are only 11 months apart) for twins! We've already talked with the older ones about the difficulties and prejudices we may face being a mixed race family.
I am on a mission to learn as much about Haiti and interracial adoption as I can in the next few days. I'll share some of the highlights with you as I go along.
Prayer Requests for Today:
1) That God would clearly reveal the child he has chosen for us both to the agency staff and to us.
2) That we would be prepared to meet our new little one's needs emotionally as he grows up in a family that doesn't look like him and doesn't share his cultural background.
