Baby Summey: Coming April 2022


I cannot begin to describe the flood of emotion that we're experiencing right now, and I so badly want to, so those who are on this journey with us can get in on all these feels! 

We have been working with multiple attorneys and referral services, and last week one of them reached out and let us know that an expectant mother has chosen us to parent her child!!! Signatures and an exchange of funds has to happen to make things "official" - and that happened today! I am just in awe of how good God is... how faithful he is. These last few weeks have been crazy for our family. Life has happened. It's been stressful and hard, but God is faithful and good - even in our chaos. One of my favorite songs has been playing over and over in my head.
            
            All my life you have been faithful.
            All my life you have been so so good.
            With every breath that I am able,
            I will sing of the goodness of God.

Since the beginning of this adoption journey, we have been praying that God would cross our paths with the right expectant mother. We've prayed that she'll have complete peace about her decision, a healthy pregnancy, a safe delivery, and that we would be able to love her well during this process. We are grateful and humbled to be matched... what a gift, honor, privilege, and miracle adoption is!

Please pray for continued health and peace for this brave mama. 
Pray for us too - we have an incredible opportunity to love on her over the next 4 months.

Baby Summey Coming April 2022!!! We'll share more details (including the baby's gender) a little later - we're contemplating a fun way to do it and include Selah and Judah :-)
