Our adoption story begins with a Sunday night church service. Mike and I were sitting with our friends Chaz and Amy, that we are very close to, when our Sunday School teacher approached us. He didn't waste any time getting to the point when he asked, "How would you feel about adopting an 8 year old boy from Taiwan?"
Amy said we both immediately started shaking our heads yes before we even looked at each other. Many people don't know, but Mike and I have thought about adoption for a few years. We just never went any further with it because we thought we were too old. Our teacher said we could talk to our pastor about it more and get more details later, leaving us in wonder of what could be happening to our family. We felt like God was speaking directly to us.
After church we all went out to eat and Bro. Chad approached us, telling us about this little boy. He was ecstatic that we were interested and told us that if we were serious and started the process it would probably move very quickly. The very next day we called New Beginnings and started the process. After filling out what would only be the first of thousands of pages of paper work, they called and set up a time to meet with us on Tuesday.
