IT'S ABSOLUTELY OFFICIAL!!!

For those of you who are not aware we have been working towards becoming certified foster parents in order to foster (and eventually adopt) a boy from my work, named Tyler. He is 8 years old and he is amazing! He asks me every night to pray with him and read the Bible with him. He has asked me to lead him in a prayer to give his life to Jesus! Praise GOD!! He absolutely has a compassionate heart!

So, today we met with Tyler's social worker and it was an absolutely wonderful encounter! His social worker was 100% supportive of this whole process. So, at the end of our meeting we set a date for Tyler to move in with us and it is on August 9th!! Less than two weeks away!! We are so amazingly excited! God has really opened every door for us during this process. Thank you to all of you that have been praying for us during this process and thank you to those of you who were able to write us references. We so truly appreciate every bit of support that we have received thus far. But we will still need plenty of support and plenty of prayer as Tyler joins our family. So, please don't forget to keep us in your prayers!

Below are some pictures of Tyler. Enjoy!! :




Stay tuned for some pics of our first day together!!
