YAY! I literally just got an e-mail from my social worker saying that I am approved by the Peruvian Governemnt to adopt! :-) But, let me tell you this story.... it is pretty neat how it unfolded.... I was online checking e-mail and my social worker e-mailed me to let me know she would be out of country for the next week and a half and who I should contact if I needed anything. So, I e-mailed her back and of course wished her well and let her know that I was good, except I was anxiously awaiting the approval from the Peruvian Governemnt. Before she could even respond to my e-mail, within seconds, she received an e-mail from Peru stating that I HAVE BEEN APPROVED! Now, let me just tell you, that is a Good God! :-) I had mentioned to her that God was teaching me about waiting (which, as most of you know, I am NOT good at!) and a couple of days ago, I was just having an anxious day of wanting to know my approval status.... well the devotion for that day was about WAITING! You have to love it when God is funny, yet gives us just what we need, when we need it! Well, that is what happened tonight! :-) How cool is that?!?
Thank you all for continuing to pray. Please also pray for Allison (my social worker, as she travels this week) and for the referral process as it is the next step! I will continue to update as soon as I know something more!
Blessings!

On the Journey With My Chosen One!
I am sure you might wonder why I call her chosen rather than adopted.... well, adopted is just her physical condition, CHOSEN is what we both are to be a family together! God is so rich in His Blessings, and He has chosen each of us from before the time we were knit in our mother's womb to be a FOREVER family! How BIG is that? How BIG is our God!?! Thank you for following our journey and for praying for us as we wait and continue to grow in the love of God! -- Blessings!

About Me
- Rebecca
- On Mother's Day of 2006 as I sat in church watching a baby dedication, a woman there was dedicating her adopted daughter from another country. I clearly heard God say to me, "You can do that!" Well, my first thought was "Lord, are you joking?!?" Of course, He was NOT! I then spent the next two years praying about and researching adoption. Of all the things I have always been sure of in my life.... being a Mom was definitely one of them! After much prayer and consideration I submitted my application for adoption on my 35th Birthday, August 31, 2008. And, YES, this is the "CRAZIEST" thing I have ever done in my life! But, you only get to live this life one time, so BE a little CRAZY sometimes!
