Trammell Family Adoption
Donation protected
In their hearts humans plan their course, but the LORD establishes their steps.
Proverbs 16:9
We never intended to adopt again. It wasn’t our plan. I have always wanted a large family but we both said after we brought Samuel home from China that he was our last we were done.
BUT GOD!
Since this unexpected stirring from the Lord started in both of us a few months ago we have come up with every excuse possible to ignore it. We don’t have the finances to pay for another adoption (we don’t), our house isn’t big enough, how will it affect our kids, we will be starting completely over when all of our kids are almost teenagers...and on and on.
BUT GOD!
He then reminded me ever so gently “I own cattle on a thousand hills and you’ve seen me work miracles before to provide I am capable of providing the funds for this one too”
I don’t care about the size of your house I care about the condition of your heart”
“I will take care of your kids I will prepare their hearts”
“I don’t look at age or a timeline when one of my children needs a home”
How do we argue with that! Our answer was yes God!
We have felt this exact same stirring 3 times before so we very well know what it means. We know and understand the voice of the Holy Spirit and we know when He leads us to move in a direction that is not our own we have the choice to be obedient and say yes even when we don’t understand or say no in disobedience. Jw and I have made it our motto for many years that our answer to God will always be yes even when we don’t understand the question.
So, we are stepping out in faith but also with a little fear (let’s be real) to trust God’s plan. We don’t know what God has in store completely but we couldn’t be more excited to walk this journey with the Lord one more time!
We are pursing a domestic infant adoption. We are totally open to any sweet baby God sends our way with no care about race or ethnicity we just want what God wants for our family! Our only desire is to love like Jesus does! Our heart is to love and encourage birth mom in any way we can and to love her sweet baby as our own and raise them in the nurturing of the Lord.
We covet your prayers!
A domestic adoption these days is on average $35-60k!
Friends let’s be real we don’t have that kind of $ laying around!
BUT GOD!
He has done it before for us and He WILL do it again!!! Adoption is the heart of the Father and He works miracles to place a child in a family!
Our first financial hurdle of $5500.00 is due soon to pay for the agency fee and home study. Once that payment has been made and we move onto the next step we will then have to raise the reminder of the funds relatively quickly to be financially prepared when we are matched, as half of the overall total will be due at that time.
We are working with a consulting ministry that is licensed in every state. With that, along with us being open to any ethnicity, we are being told to prepare to match very quickly. As in possibly the day or week we are officially active! With that excitement comes the reality that we don’t have much time to raise funds! BUT GOD!
He will provide we have no doubt!
If the Lord stirs in your heart to give please know we are so so very thankful and appreciative! We do not take your blessing lightly, we understand the magnitude of your gift, and we feel extremely humbled to partner with you!
Please pray for us, and please pray for our sweet little one, that they will be healthy and safe until the Lord unites us as a family!
Much love and blessings sweet friends!❤️
