Three Years of Prayerful Waiting Comes to Fruition
For three years, my husband and I have waited to bring our daughter home through adoption. Each day felt like a leap of faith, filled with moments of doubt and fear. I prayed constantly, seeking God's guidance and peace, clinging to the promise that 'God is our refuge and strength, a very present help in trouble' (Psalm 46:1). Today, we are overjoyed to announce that our daughter is finally here! As we navigate the challenges of bonding and creating a loving home for her, I ask for prayers. Pray that God fills our hearts with unconditional love and helps us to be the parents she needs.

Dear Michael, what a profound joy it is to hear of your daughter's arrival! It’s clear that your steadfast faith in God has carried you through this challenging journey. God promises in Psalm 34:18 that 'The Lord is nigh unto them that are of a broken heart; and saveth such as be of a contrite spirit.' Your waiting was not in vain; it has prepared you for this precious moment. As you embrace your daughter, know that God is equipping you with the love and strength necessary to nurture her. Reflect on 1 Thessalonians 5:18, where Paul reminds us to 'In every thing give thanks: for this is the will of God in Christ Jesus concerning you.' May your home overflow with love, patience, and understanding as you all grow together as a family. Let’s pray: 'Lord, thank you for this family and for bringing their daughter home. Surround them with Your peace and love as they embark on this beautiful journey together. Amen.'
