Adoption is All About Surrender
60 days- 2 months until our beautiful baby girl makes her arrival. We can’t believe it has been over a month since we met our birth mom. So much has changed as we are awaiting the arrival on this sweet angel!
Finishing up my book, getting ready to move into our new house in a couple of months, working and managing all the emotions that come with preparing for a baby has been crazy. But a good, welcomed crazy.
It is just amazing to love someone so much and to know that could be taken away in an instant. And to know you love someone so dearly and you have no control over the pregnancy and birthing process. We didn’t even have control over our birth mom choosing us. This whole adoption process has been letting go of control. It has forced me to trust in God’s sovereignty and it has revealed some truths to me about myself.
It has been brought to my attention that much of my planning and organization is all about control. I want to know what is happening and when. And when I don’t know that, I can panic.
Oh, is God teaching me so much! I just know that He is doing something beautiful as we are relinquishing all control to Him.
But it’s been difficult. Would you please take a second right now as you are reading this to pray.
Please pray for our birth mom. She has really been struggling lately. She hasn’t wavered in her decision of adoption, but emotionally, physically, mentally she is struggling. From the moment she has entered our lives, I have felt like we were going to minister to her somehow. She is in a fragile place and I know we can be light to her. Please pray that Jesus is made real to her and she and our sweet baby girl are supernaturally protected from the enemy and his plans for their lives.
Also please pray that we are able to see her next weekend. We have plans to go to Florida next weekend for a 4D ultrasound. We have been giddy about this since we scheduled it. We do know that our birth mom has been struggling, so we are praying that we are still able to do this.
This adoption road is fun. But it is hard. It is scary. It is so out of my hands. But it is SO in God’s. The safest, most secure place to be.
I know this sweet little girl is worth it all. The count down is officially ON!!!

It’s all worth it. We just welcomed our beautiful adopted daughter home and arrival 12/3/14. It is well worth the wait, panic and stress. Praying for you and your adoption.
Aly & Josh,
You both amaze me & inspire me. Your faith is unshakable & your strength is unmeasurable. God has his hands on you both & this birth plan. Adoption is a beautiful thing. My best friend adopted two little boys, then through IVF conceived twins, one boy, one girl. The adoption was an emotional & overwhelming process but one she says was far more rewarding than not. Just remember, God is in control & His plan is always the one that was meant for us.
God Bless You Both!!!!
Praying as you have requested Aly and I know God is in control!! He knows the birth mom’s heart and He knows your’s and Josh’s hearts!!! Praying that God will give her peace, clarity, an easy birth and delivery and that she will come to know Him as her personal Savior through God placing you and Josh in her life. You may be the only Jesus she has ever seen!!!! How exciting to know God is using you while giving you such an amazing gift in this baby girl!!! Love you all and cannot wait to meet this precious angel!!!
Aly,
We are praying for you, Josh and sweet baby girl. Praying that all will go according to plan. Praying baby girl will be born healthy and you will have a great life experience with her.
