Okay, everyone...I've been really bad about keeping our blog updated. I was searching for something on the Internet the other day and found this awesome blog about another family adopting from the Philippines. They have links to other blogs of families adopting from the Philippines. I feel so alone at times that this was so cool! It inspired me to update ours.

Check it out! It's an awesome blog. I love their entry about people asking why they are adopting from the Philippines. The answers are many that we feel, too. Why are we adopting from the Philippines?
-They are a Christian country and they will only adopt to Christian families. This is important to us because our faith is such an integral part of our lives.
-Our child we sponsor through the Church of God Children of Promise child sponsorship program is from the Philippines.
-We fit the requirements they set and we love their requirements such as only one trip, a maximum of 4 days in the country (though we want to stay longer), and although the requirements for our dossier seemed to take forever, the Philippines are thorough and particular about who they adopt their children to.
-The weather is always warm, they speak English, the people are friendly, and the food is great.
-And the number one reason of all, the most important, this is where we feel God has called us to adopt!
So, we will keep waiting!

Tammy!! Thank you so much for your e-mail to me. I was so surprised and happy to see this, as I never really know how many people are reading the blog!
It is really amazing that our stories are so similar. I am looking forward to seeing how both of our stories play out! I can't wait to look through your whole blog, it's like getting a new book :)
