So the journey begins

A possible opportunity has been presented to Brian and me. A friend approached me yesterday and asked if she could share something with me. She shared some information about her niece's friend who has just found out that she is pregnant. She is a young teenager and is already thinking that she wants to place the child for adoption. My friend shared with the family that Brian and I were working through the adoption process, and might be interested although she wasn't sure how it would all work out. The birth mother lives in a different state that is not traveled to in a days' time. The birth mom sounded interested in this possibility of placing her child with a couple that someone knew instead of a random couple from off the streets.
The birth mom has a hard road ahead of her, as some have already encouraged abortion. Above all, we want to pray for God to place believers in her path that can encourage her through this process. I cannot imagine what the pressure must feel like on her right now. For Brian and I, we are praying for confirmation on whether or not we want to pursue this situation. We want our desires for a family to be His desires. Join us in praying for our feelings and emotions to be kept in check. Pray for the birth mom as she begins an emotional roller coaster of creating an adoption plan for her child, whether that involves us or not.
