And So It Begins...

Matt and I have always wanted to adopt a child. There were multiple reasons behind that desire.

• I was afraid to get pregnant... Not the best reason, I know, but a legit reason. As you know though, God conquered that fear and we now have a 17 month old.
• Matt was adopted and it was a blessing. That in itself is multiple reasons. We know how great it could be for both parents and children. I also like the idea of paying it forward, so to speak.
• It's a great picture of what God's done for us. He's adopted us as His children and co-heirs with Christ.
• It's a need. Unfortunately there are many kids needing a "forever family".
• I think God has equipped us to love an adopted child well. God's made me a lover of children. Liam is super friendly, often shares, and has become the cute little boy running over to kids and saying "hi". Matt is a super fun and patient man. I think God has and is equipping us well.

And so, the desire is still here. Back in March, a series of events has caused us to really start pursuing adoption. And so it begins... our Sones adoption journey.

I'll be writing a series of brief posts to just catch you up as to where we are in the journey. The hope is to use this blog as a way to keep family and friends informed, as well as a way to ask for support. We definitely need support in this. Your prayers are appreciated. Thanks for journeying with us!
