Where the Journey Began and Where it's Headed

I realize that I don't know if I have ever really told the whole story of how this whole journey really began. So here it is...
My name is Kayla and my husband Brent and I are in the process of adopting a little girl from China. To be honest adoption was never even on our radar, until our daughter was on a cheer team with a girl who's family had adopted a little girl from China and was about to go back for a little boy. After speaking with this mama and seeing her heart for orphans we began talking about the possibility of us adopting, but things happened in our lives and we pushed adoption to the back of our minds. In March of 2012 the need to adopt was weighing heavily on our hearts. We contacted this same sweet mama, who happened to head up adoptions from China for an adoption agency, and started asking the questions of how to start the process. Unfortunately I was not old enough yet, you have to be at least 30, so we were told we would have to wait almost 2 years. I was devastated. I didn't understand why God had put adoption so heavily on my heart knowing we would have to wait. I am curious though to see, once we are matched, what significance March 2012 had in our sweet girls life because even though we couldn't officially start the process to adopt, we could start praying for Gods protection over our little girl.
In August of 2013 we were finally able to officially start the process by sending in an application to an agency. We were so excited to be accepted into the China program. It has been a slow process as we have had to fundraise for a lot of our fees but the time has given us plenty of oppurtunities to pray for our little girl. We absolutely can't wait to be able to go bring our girl home and we would love for you to be able to have a part in making a huge difference in this little girls life.
If you feel that the Lord is nudging you to donate we would greatly appreciate it.
