opening another door.....


for the past few months, we have been desperately searching God's will to determine His plan for how to grow our family.....since we made the change from Haiti's international program to a domestic program last june....ray godwin's office has come across our paths multiple times - we made contact with them last june to inquire about their domestic program to compare to bethany's, mr. godwin's legal assistant actually contacted us in january about a potential placement, we called and talked to them again this february about their domestic program and several friends and family mentioned to us about his practice. we met with him last friday and officially retained him as our adoption attorney today.

we are excited about this new door opening and are leaving the door open with bethany as well. may God's will be done and may our hearts willingly follow where He leads....
