Adoption Blog is live!

As you may know by now, my wife and I are in process of adopting a baby girl from Guatemala. Holly and I have set up a blog specifically for the adoption journey at http://peaceforyourjourney.blogspot.com. We have taken comfort in reading the many other adoption blogs and hope that ours will likewise bring comfort and hope for those who are beginning the journey as well. We are so freakin' excited! We should have a new baby girl by next Christmas! We have had an incredible Christmas season reflecting upon what it means to be children of God, adopted into the family of God through the gift of Christ. So many people see adoption as being less than "having your own." This grieves me. Holly and I have decided to "have our own" child through adoption. So please, understand that we are all adopted into the family of God. Adoption is a plan for having children, not necessarily a "fall back" plan for having a family. None of us are "plan b" children! We are excited about this journey and hope that you will be able to share this with us!

Sorry for not including an active link but I have not been able to figure out how to do this on a mac platform.
