Oops!!

I knew it'd happen, and it took several days to figure out who we'd leave out when we went down the list of "Thank You's."

Tommy & Aimee Poche have been there for us for some time. When Brandi and I went through fertility assistance, Aimee was able to encourage Brandi through that time. When we had questions about adoption, Tommy & Aimee welcomed us into thier home and answered all our questions and again, gave us great encouragement. As we wait for Jada to send us some pictures of her, Aimee drops a call to Brandi to make sure she was doing OK.

Tommy and Aimee have a GREAT story. Through thier experience, they were able to start "His Heart for Orphans", the adoption ministry at our church. It has been a pleasure serving under them in the adoption ministry and more importantly, it has been an encouragement for us to be able to witness the way they have handled thier walk with adoption and eventually having thier own child. It provides us with a great model of how we want to handle it.

Just to give you a brief overview, they went from not concieving and not knowing why, to 7 children in less than 3 years!! (I think) Be encouraged and check out the His Heart for Orphans site.

Thanks Tommy & Aimee, you have been GREAT friends!!

Well, thanks Gered! You know as well as I do that the adoption journey is one FULL of faith, walking the unknown mixed with laughter and many tears of longing for a child. Tommy and I thank God for couples like you and Brandi who have chosen adoption! You are truly mirroring what God did for all of us in Ephesians 1:5.....adopted us into His OWN family through Jesus Christ. And the best thing about this scripture is that it gave Him great pleasure!!

Enjoy every bit of this journey, even the long wait.....it is all His mighty hand at work. Nothing has escaped Him during this time.

There is a little girl in China that doesn't even know that God is about to place her in the most extraordinary home!!!!!

I can't wait to meet Jada!

We love y'all,
Aimee'
