Yesterday

As most of you know the adoption can be along difficult journey. We received an email yesterday from our adoptive country stating all adoptions have been suspend until further notice. The government is trying to change the law and require us to stay their for three months. We have no idea what this may mean for our blended family. We are deeply sadden but we know he is sovereign. More soon...

Praying for you all!! I have a friend in a similar situation with an adoption through Vietnam. I will be praying for things to open up to make it easier instead of harder to bring your little boy home. Don't let Satan discourage you!!

We know what a roller coaster adoption can be. Hang on tight, because it is in these difficult times when the Lord shows you the most about who He is and what He has for your family! Keep clinging to the knowledge and hope that His plan is always-ALWAYS-the best plan. Much love from the Wilsons!

Adoption T-Shirts are now available

Adoption shirts: Below are the three shirts we are selling to help cover our travel costs to Africa. As most of you know, we have to take two 10 day trips to complete the adoption.  Each shirt is $20.  There are two options when ordering. In-state and hand delivered or the shipping option which includes a $3.00 fee.  You can use your paypal or account or send us a check.  Information is located on the right side. Why these designs: We have been CHOSEN by God, and through the sacrifice of Jesus, we have been ADOPTED into his family. We did not choose Emmanuel to join our family; God has chosen our family for Emmanuel. This process has been hard in so many ways, but NOW we can see the light and know our gift from God is months away. Thank you for joining us in this journey to bring Emmanuel home.   The deepest and strongest foundation of adoption is located not in the act of humans adopting humans, but in God adopting humans. And this act is n...

Happy Birthday Emmanuel - A father's letter

Emmanuel's Birthday is December 3rd.  Happy Birthday E’man. What an amazing year! The last seven months have been an incredible roller- coaster ride and we are so thankful God has brought you into our lives. You have changed us forever! In fact, God is already using you to impact the nations. How cool is that? We wish we could all be together, but God has a unique plan that only he fully understands. I can’t send a physical gift, but I can write you a letter from my heart and hope will have the opportunity to read at some point. If not, I believe we see each other in heaven and worship together. Seven months ago, we decided to adopt. Several days later we saw you! You saw your big chocolate innocent eyes and very quickly knew you were the one. Yes, we looked at others, but there was just something about you that drew us to you. We excitedly started the process to bring you home to us as fast as possible. Needless to say, your picture is all around our house, wallets, key cha...
