Heart of the Bride Grant!

This morning my cell phone rang and the number that came up appeared to me as if it would be a solicitation call.  "Hello," I said.  The person on the other end asked to speak with me.  Hmmmm...  What followed was not a sales call, far from it.  It was from the "Heart of the Bride" organization with the news that our family had been selected for a grant!  What welcome news that was!

From their website: "In keeping with our overall mission, we will only be helping families who have already made sacrificial commitments: we will be sharing the burden, not taking it. Ultimately God will be the provider to those who are called to adopt. As a ministry that shares His heart for orphans, it is simply our desire and joy to be a part of that work"

As our fourth international adoption in just a couple of years, I have said since the beginning that we need God to show up big time! I was thrilled to see a bit of that happen today.  Thank you to Heart of the Bride for your commitment to orphans and for your help in bringing our boy home.
