Introduction	We have seen first hand the beauty of adoption. How adoption manifests God's sovereignty over lives, governments, cultures, finances and circumstances. Our adoption experience with extended family has put adoption close to our hearts for the past 17 years. Over the last four or five years, the desire to adopt pressed in. We have room in our home and even more room in our hearts for more children...so why wouldn't we? Many reasons presented themselves but when those reasons were weighed in they all came back as 'selfish' or of 'worldly wisdom'. This past fall, God showed Himself to be relentless in presenting adoption as a practical outgrowth of the Gospel. We were filthy in our sin and without hope, yet He chose to make us His own at an extreme cost to Himself. Likewise, adoption is seeing a fatherless child and making him/her our own...at a price that yes, is costly by the world's standards, yet pales in light of the sacrifice our Heavenly Father made in His only Son to provide for our spiritual adoption in His eternal family. So in March, we took one giant step onto the path of adoption with the anticipation of following God's leading hand.
