We have some exciting news! Our friends, the Cliftons, have decided to pursue adoption of Hope’s best friend at Bethel! God has done so many amazing things to reveal to them that this is their daughter. Normally, in the adoption process, the way it works is that you locate a child on an agency’s list, and pursue adoption that way. This would be a totally different process, where we would have to request this specific child’s file. We have been told that it can be complicated, and its not an easy task. So please please please pray that we find this little girl’s file. We have been told that it can be at ANY agency in the world. We have contacted every agency in the United States, and so far, nobody has her file. We did hear some news that her file may actually be in the process of being made, which would be good news…we just need to get more specifics, and we need the FAVOR of God to breathe on this process, and locate her for us.
They are starting in the same boat we did with needing to raise all the money. They had the most encouraging thing happen to them a few days ago. They heard a clinking sound on their roof, and looked up, and a gold coin fell through the roof onto the floor. The coin had a picture of an angel on both sides. It was totally amazing, and we feel like it is a sign that God’s provision is coming for this family.
Please, please, please, keep this family in your prayers! We are so excited that God is setting the lonely in families!!! Hooray! 🙂
