Fr. Josh and Alli,
I am so happy to hear about your impending adoption. I will keep you in my daily prayers that God sends you the child or children who will be a blessing to you and others and that all goes well throughout the whole process. I have friends and family who have adopted children from Mexico, China, Russia, Yugoslavia and Romania. From what I hear it is a lengthy and expensive process but oh so worth it. It is a win win for both the adoptive parents and the children adopted. If you need any advice I can put you in touch with them. Do you all want me to put your prayer request on the daughters prayer list? I think you both are going to be awesome parents. Congratulations early.
Blessings+
Barbara
Congratulations! We are so happy for both of you. What wonderful parents you will be! We are keeping you in our thoughts and prayers during this exciting time! We can't wait to meet our new little cousin or cousins!
Love,
Tavish & Dan
Alli & Josh! Wow - I am so excited for you as you begin this journey! You will be great parents! I can't wait to meet the new addition to the Whitfield family!
Congrats!
Krista
