Dear Friends,
It is hard to believe that it has been 18 months since we brought Evan home from Russia. What a JOY!
November is National Adoption Month!
It’s a time to celebrate families touched by adoption, be thankful to birth mothers for their choice, and remember families and children who waiting on loving homes.
Whether you've personally been touched by adoption or not, take a moment to pray for the families still waiting to be joined with their perfect family. Several of our friends have been waiting for well over a year since they first met their child, especially remember them as the holidays approach.
Galatians 4:5 and Romans 8: 14-17 talks about God adopting us as His children. Ephesians 1:5-6...having predestined us to adoption as sons by Jesus Christ to Himself, according to the good pleasure of his will, to the praise of the glory of His grace, by which He made us accepted in the Beloved.
Love and Thanks,
Brandi, Clay, and Evan Hodges
