Mountains of the US

This past week, we were lucky enough to see some mountains and volcanoes of the US. They are absolutely breathtaking.

As I have been praying for the last couple of weeks, for God to move our mountains, I was inspired to see how he has already moved so many. The power behind the volcanoes shows just how much power He has. On Friday, we got the email from our agency that we had been waiting for...

God has moved our mountains and we will be bringing home two little boys. Noah and a little boy with a broken heart.

Han Kang, who will be 6 in August, has a heart issue. It is unknown at this time if it is operable or not, but from all of the information we have received, it is not. Many families had looked at his file, and many families had decided they could not take that chance. They could not face the possibility that he may die from his heart defect.

Leonard and I have prayed, talked, thought, and prayed more about this. We have talked with our older boys about it to get their take on it. We have prayed together as a family as to what we should do.

Then when all of the yes answers kept coming, we soon realized that this was what God wanted us to do.

We have many things still to go on this adoption...finances, paperwork and timing are the three most important; however, so far, everything has worked out ok.

I know people will ask themselves and each other, "What are they doing to their family?" "I can't believe they would do this..."

We also know that we cannot walk away from this child. He needs a family. He needs a chance. And he needs love. Like Nathan said, "Who knows mom, maybe American doctors will know what to do with him when he gets here."

I do ask for your continued prayers for our finances to come together (we were not intending to adopt two at one time...travel should be the same but there are all of the other fees)...and continued prayer for this little boy who is very sick. Pray the transition and the flight will be smooth and will not make him sicker.

God is so good. He will provide...I know He will.
