All Are Precious
While at the Buckner office in Longview for our orientation meeting, we saw this painting hanging on the wall. We loved the words because we often sing this song with Hesedah. It was also a great reminder of the truth about God's love for us. We thought we would share the painting.

Adoption Seminar Scheduled
We are nearing the end of our formal application for adoption. The things still left on the list for us to complete are the drawing up of a will, health exam, TB test, fingerprints, copies of the layout of our home, and submitting pictures of the house. We are excited to be at this point. The paperwork is overwhelming, so it's good to finally see a light at the end of the tunnel.
Our next step is a two-day adoption seminar on April 28 and 29. We will travel to the Longview location of Bucker for these two days to meet with staff there. It will be an intense time of learning and re-learning about adoption. We will be talking much more in-depth about how we will relate with the birth family after the baby arrives, what we can expect with adoption, especially a second adoption, and many other things. We will be one of several couples attending the seminar.
This seminar is a new experience for us. Our previous agency did not host a seminar like this prior to adoption. We only attended a one-day orientation. We are looking forward to meeting the other couples and learning some new things about adoption. The next step after the seminar is our home study. Then, we become a waiting a family. We are getting there. Please keep praying.
We would like to say thank you to those who have become our adoption advocates. Because of your support, we are able to pay for the seminar and part of the home study. As you can see on Pure Charity, we are trusting the Lord to provide $10,000. You have been a big part of that. THANK YOU!
Continue praying for the birth mother and decisions that she is making now. We believe there is a mother right now, somewhere in Texas, carrying the baby that will become part of our family. We also ask that you will pray for us as we prepare for these changes to our family.
Thanks for praying,
Jeremiah, Amanda, and Hesedah
