It feels good to complete something!

We are currently licensed, in the state of Ohio, to foster or adopt children in need!

We started training in May 2007 and weren't able to continue. After deciding not to return to NTBI last January we felt the Lord deepen our desire to adopt as He continued to open the door to return to Lucas County Children Services Training. He provided us with babysitters for 7 Saturdays, in a row, from 8-4 each Saturday. Wow, we couldn't believe it! Thank you to my dear friend/missionary; Kelsey (from our church youth group) to my sister, Korinne and husband Jeff, and good friend Anna and Oliver for all their help!

He did this all in the first day! Its hard to find babysitters for 3 kids especially when you can't compensate them for their time like you would wish. We felt God organized this for us and everything went very smoothly!

In April we completed our 40 hours of training, tons of paperwork and home study preparation!
However, we have yet to receive a call or a placement.

We trust God's timing ....and are so very very thankful for the 3 beautiful children He has given us already!!!
