It finally feels like our adoption support may be starting to come together. I am talking about the one my husband and I started at our church. The meeting in September included three interested families, and after talking together and setting up an email group for us, I have a feeling these attendees will return in the future. They seem to desire people to connect with, share with and offer insight to. It is good to see the group coming together. It was great to hear other families' experiences and stories.
At first it seemed like our idea to start the group was a flop. The first month two interested families came...one that does emergency foster care and one that is interested in adopting through foster care, but I forgot to get contact information, and we haven't seen any of those people since. The second month no one came at all. Now, though, we are seeing families who seem genuinely excited about the prospect of the group, and I think we will grow and learn together over the next several months.
We (my husband and I) felt called to start up an adoption support group at our church, and we stepped out in faith, and finally a group is being formed. It is amazing what God will do when you listen to what He is asking you to do. : )
