It was August, 2006. We were just about 4 years into our marriage and we were done trying to have children the "natural"way, felt the Lord had something else in mind. God had been working in my heart, directing us to adopt but we were still so confused. We had so many questions and we were so ignorant of all things pertaining to adoption (thankful God is not). We decided to attend an informational adoption seminar in Georgia in hopes of getting some answers. It was exciting and we took in a lot of information. Adoption seemed much more real in our minds and attainable, we dreamed of what our child would be like, but we still had so many unanswered questions. We took many pamphlets home to review. I knew I wanted to adopt a child from overseas so I would not have to worry about bio-logical parents but we never had a clear sense of direction as to what country...so we began the process of elimination...and chose Vietnam. Vietnam! Now we had direction, right? We thought so and chose an agency to move forward with.
Little did we know, God had different plans. He was preparing our hearts for adoption but we had no clue what else He was doing. But God knew...and he was with our little boy at this same moment...with him in the womb of his Birth Mother not more than 10 miles away from us.
