We have some exciting news to share with you today! A week ago, we applied with AWAA to adopt again, and we got the news yesterday that our app was approved! We are officially on the journey to child number 2! We are looking to adopt a boy from China. We are going to very soon fill out a special needs adoption application with AWAA as our next step in the process.<\/p>\n<p>\u00c2\u00a0A many of you know, we were praying about pursuing adoption\u00c2\u00a0from Vietnam, but God closed that door, and opened our eyes to the possibility of the Special Needs program in China.<\/p>\n<p>\u00c2\u00a0Please pray for us as we take this step of faith, and seek God&#8217;s plan, and search for the little one God has for us.<\/p>\n<p>\u00c2\u00a0God is full of sweet surprises, and we believe that this moment in our journey will be no exception to that rule! We believe firmly that God has a plan, and that plan\u00c2\u00a0is perfect for us! Before the foundation of the world, He knew we would have two little ones in our lives, and He knew we would adopt them, and He knew where they would be from!<\/p>\n<p>\u00c2\u00a0That to me is both comforting and astoundingly awesome all at the same time! For those out there who are in\u00c2\u00a0a time of transition and change\u00c2\u00a0right now,\u00c2\u00a0know this&#8230; you can rest! God has it\u00c2\u00a0all figured out!\u00c2\u00a0\u00c2\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>\u00c2\u00a0Blessings until the next post!<\/p>\n<p>Brandon Battle<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Well, it&#8217;s about time I came out and posted something!
