ACTIVE!

Quick Update:  We are officially "active!"  That means one of the agencies we are working with will begin to present our profiles to birthmothers who are planning to put their children up for adoption at birth!  They have told us about two birthmothers specifically that they will present our profiles to this week!  We were told it was very unlikely that we would be picked by one mother.  She is 30 and is looking for an "older couple" in their 40s.  Both birthmothers have looked at about 7 profiles so far and have not picked a couple, so they will be looking at our profiles this week.  It's amazing to think that even though we know very little about these ladies, one of them could be carrying our child right now!  But even if we aren't picked, we are officially active and will be presented to other birthmoms in the weeks and months to come.  We know that God knows who and where our child is right now, and we anxiously await the day when we are able to hold him/her in our arms!

We are not yet "active" with our other agency due to the fact that we are unable to show "proof of funds" for the cost of the adoption at the time of placement right now.  We are SO thankful to so many people who have supported us so far, prayerfully and financially!  We are still working to raise more money so that we can show this amount to our other agency and be prepared for the cost we will need to pay.  To help with this, we are hosting a Baby King Adoption Fundraiser event on June 21st at June Morning in Richmond, KY.  We will have a dinner, dance, and auction event for all who wish to join!  Money will be raised from the "admission" charge and there will be a variety of items to bid on at the auction!  We are SO excited for a fun night with family and friends!

Please continue to pray for us during this time!  We are still working hard with the adoption process itself, but it's starting to sink in that we could be parents very soon!  Most people have at least 9 months to consider this and prepare.  With adoption it's easy to busy yourself with other necessary things.  We are so excited and anxious to become parents!  Pray that we would be Godly parents who display the Gospel in our home through our actions and words everyday to our children and to others.  Please continue to pray for our child, wherever he/she is.  Pray for safety and health for him/her and for the birthmother who may be carrying him/her at this time, or may be soon.  Also be in prayer for the fundraiser event; that people are able/willing to come and that their sacrificial giving will glorify God!
