Back in America

Once we were back in America I decided to start contacting a few different adoption agencies that did Indian adoptions. After a few weeks we found a great agency that has been doing Indian adoption since like the 1980’s. We were able to hear from about 10 different families that had adopted from India using their agency and it was wonderful getting to hear about successful adoptions! I began e-mailing back and forth with this agency and although I knew I was too young to adopt (with the minimum age being 28) from India I decided to go ahead and ask for clarification about the minimum age to adopt. I remember the next day when I checked my e-mail so vividly! I got goosebumps as I began to read “We just got India’s new guidelines in-the minimum age to adopt is 25.” 25!?!? I couldn’t believe it!  I turn 25 on July 27^th and I could not have been more excited. I really felt the Lord taking control of the whole process as I fell to my knees and just praised Him for giving me such a clear indication of what he wanted us to do! Every day I am amazed about what a big and powerful God I serve!
