So, we were able to have the conversations with those "two more people" we mentioned before. The conversations were both encouraging and helpful!
Based on all the research we've done, the counsel we've sought, the prayer, and the thinking, we believe adopting "Philip" is something we should pursue. We think we can handle his physical needs, and we think God may want him to be our son. So, here we go!
There's still a possibility that he could be matched with another family, but we're going to pursue adopting him until the doors close. It would be sad if he isn't meant to be our son, but in another sense it would be encouraging because it would be more proof that God is working in our lives, including "Philips".
So, we've submitted all the initial paperwork we can right now, and we're moving forward. Please keep praying! Thank you for walking with us in this.
This is so exciting to read about your decision to adopt and the background work that you are doing to make it just right. I'll be anxious to read each blog about your progress and if Philip is the 'one' - I will be so thrilled for you! Some lucky child has a wonderful loving family waiting for him/her!
