Adopting Children from Haiti

When Love Takes You In is a song by Steven Curtis Chapman that really touches my heart. I am celebrating with our friends and fellow missionaries who FINALLY have their 2 adopted Haitian sons home! We are praising God with them. For more info on their journey, please visit their website here.

Please also pray for us, as we are looking into the option of adopting 2 of these Haitian children that become refugees here in Chile. Chile too, like the US is opening its doors to these FABULOUS children who need love and a home. Maybe this is how God is directing us to the next 2 little Amundsons?!?!?

Throughout this process of waiting, I've wondered WHEN LORD? When? Well, we are on to another step in the waiting process. In order to adopt from Chile, we must have our PERMANENT residencies. This process can only be begun after you have lived in Chile under your temporary residencies for almost a year. Therefore, last week, we sent in our permanent residency applications. Please pray that these will be carried on a wing and MANY prayers, so that we can get those visas and begin the adoption proces.

But for now I was touched by this video that another friend who just completed a Haitian adoption shared on her blog.
