As Robin and I watch this dream of adopting a child start to take shape, we often find ourselves wondering how this will be viewed from the innocent and precious eyes of our two children. From big questions like “what is adoption?”, to the little things like “why are there so many bow ties around our house?”.
While we are still early on in the fundraising process, I can say with utter joy that our kids are as much a part of this journey as we are! Not only is Wade already excited at the prospect of being our #1 bow tie model (see pics below!), he is even more excited about the prospect of who God will place in this family down the road. He has already made it known that he wants us to adopt a little boy that is three years old just like him! There is also hardly a day that passes where Wade isn’t mentioning the “Baby Scharff” that God is going to bring from Haiti. As parents of such wonderful children (Chloe will surely be joining these conversations before we know it) our hearts melt with joy in knowing that God isn’t just calling Robin and I to adopt, but is truly calling our entire family.
Are you thinking how cute that kid would look with a 4th of July sparkler in his hand?? What better way to capture the fun of Independence Day than with our “Uncle Sam” bow tie!
So sweet! For now we're keeping Bug in the dark. He really struggled with the miscarriage and so we want to wait until we are further down the road.

Robin - I was thinking...if you wanted to use this post and expand on it a bit to include some of your thoughts from your previous post...I could use it as a repost on www.wearegraftedin.com -- it could bring a lot more attention to your fundraising. Let me know if you are interested!
