We would appreciate your time the day before the sale to organize or tag things.
We will also need major help the day of the sale.
Prayer
Adoption is no small task.
We are opening our hearts and leaving them wide open to many people who we don't know at all.
Pray for A & E's hearts to remain undamaged in this initial process.
We all know of failed adoptions, and we are speaking specifically against anything the Lord would not want or seek for our family. We know He has the perfect baby and the perfect scenario for us. We just want to walk uprightly through it from beginning to end.
Pray for our Birth Mom. She's carrying a life. A life she will willingly entrust to us for the rest of that babies days.
Pray for our babies health. Pray that wholeness is being spoken into his/her life right now.
