Kim and I have found ourselves in the midst of some extraordinary people over the past few years. Our journey to becoming an adoptive family was not an easy one (as if any life journey is easy) but it was made infinitely more pleasant by the people that God placed in our lives at the most strategic moments. We found kindred souls all in our backyard and across the country. Like-minded men and women found us and shared their stories, their hearts, and their courage with us for those moments when we found ourselves running on empty. New friends came out of the interwebs with heaps of encouragement; old friends chimed in to give fresh faith to our fading fire…
Some of our friends have adopted multiple times. Others stepped into the foster care system in an effort to give hope and home to children in need of both. We are surrounded by people who take the commands of God to care for the orphan to heart.
One such family is on the doorstep of another miracle adoption. Mark and Becky are some of our best friends that we never see. (Do you have friends like that?) They adopted Eden years ago, and were an inspiration and voice of hope for us. Becky wrote about their latest adventure here. Click over and give it a read.
Our friends are the real deal…kinda makes me want to be a better me, know what I mean?
