Amazing Blessing!

We have received an amazing blessing that we want to share with everyone! Someone, from of the outpouring of what God is doing in their lives, decided to share that blessing with us in order to help us reach our goal! So, it has happened and we are finally there by a whole lot of you guys and little bit of us. It’s amazing you pray and pray for something and then when it happens you are so shocked that you don’t even know what to do. That is what happened to us! This blessing could not come at a better time for us. As we have been down the journey of infertility and then through adoption, there are times of discouragement that are hard to describe and simply just hard to walk through. Recently, we had one of those moments and this blessing not only helped us to meet our financial goal but also encouraged us spiritually. So what does this mean for us now? First of all, it means many concerns are at bay for now like fundraising or filling out grant applications. Secondly, that we all continue to share in this adoption journey and that we all continue to pray. What do we pray for? We pray that in God’s timing we will enter the situation that will bring Baby Hornbaker into our lives. We pray for the birth mom and birth father as they make that very difficult decision. We pray that through all of this we can continue to share God’s glory with others. We definitely know that the Lord is at work in ways we can’t even imagine and we are seeing that firsthand from all of you of as you continue to support us in this journey.

Our Journey Begins

So as some of you know and others of you don't know, Josh and I are starting the adoption process. We decided to start this blog so that our friends and family could keep up with us throughout the journey. Our prayer as we go through this journey is that first and foremost we see God working more and more each day and that the people in our lives see God. To catch everyone up, this decision did not come instantly nor did it come without some struggle and pain. We have been trying to have a family for five years now. We thought that we would have a family as soon as Josh graduated from seminary and then after we had a few biological children we would adopt a child. But little did we know those were our plans not God's plan. Through the past five years we have struggled, prayed, cried, tried some fertility treatments, and in the end no baby Hornbaker. Over the past year, through much prayer the Lord has guided us toward adoption. That in of itself was quite a process. One minute...

Gold for Good Campaign | Hornbaker Adoption

As many of you know by now, we have begun the process for the Adoption of Baby Hornbaker. We’ve appreciated the prayer and support you’ve given us as we have started this journey. You can read more about our journey, the fears and future here at our blog. You might also know that the process is rather lengthy AND expensive (around $25,000). And let’s face it, we didn’t get into full time ministry to get rich! We’d like to ask if you would consider joining us in a campaign to help us reach our goal so that the Adoption of Baby Hornbaker can become a reality.  Here is where you come in:  We’ve partnered with Exodus 35 campaigns (ex35.org) to do a “Gold for Good” campaign. This type of campaign would simply ask if you’d be willing to donate your used, broken or unwanted Gold on our behalf for our Adoption. The proceeds would then be melted down at a refinery, with the proceeds going directly for the Adoption. We are believing and praying that friends would be willing to give away the g...

Reached another Goal!

We are excited to announce that through donations, t-shirt sells, and ripping out kitchen cabinets we were able to meet our second financial goal. With this blessing we are able to have enough money for the birthmother expense. Even when things were looking a little rough a couple of days ago, God can take a situation and give you hope and affirm that what you are doing is truly what He has planned for you!  Now we are working towards our third financial goal, which is the matching expense. For those of you who are wondering what a "matching" expense would be, it is when we will be matched with a birthmother then we need to pay that expense, it covers various fees related to finding birthmothers. Being matched is when both parties agree to move forward with the adoption process together. Please continue to pray for the process and for our financial needs to be met. We appreciate all of your support!
