Age old debate

You don't have to be in the adoption world too long before you hear comments like......'what a lucky kid.....just think of the life they would have had'. It's the age old debate about.......are you saving a child or is the child saving you?......

The answer has always been very clear to me ...........

I look at Alyssa and am amazed at God's path for our life. He saved us from pursuing years of infertility treatments........He saved us from struggles..........everything about it benefited us.........as with any first child---it changed our lives forever........for the GOOD.........

Austin....again--we were completely blessed to have 2 children. God saved us from struggling and blessed us with an AMAZING story of God's TIMING and working out EVERY detail when Austin arrived...........we were blessed....

Manuel.....we struggled for a long time figuring out what God wanted of us............we tried living as a family of 4 and convincing ourselves we were complete---but God never gave us the peace...........it was a long struggle.............when we found the path of adopting from Haiti I felt peace.......God saved us from struggling for a lifetime................we were saved..........we could leave our feelings of uncertainty at the feet of God and we could go on with a purpose.............Life was whole again.............we were complete.........

Samar--her journey is still beginning with our family. She gave us purpose and reason to why we moved at this point in our life....our eyes have been opened to letting God go deeper in us........she will complete us......I look forward to her journey.........

I'm very passionate that God picked each of our kids to save US. They each were hand picked by God..... at a certain time in our life.......... to fill a purpose in our life. And God has much more planned for their lives.....I pray that they can follow HIM!
