A little bit of information

Hi!

    A few days ago Ryan and I decided that we needed to find a way to share what was going on with our adoption process.  We looked at different ways that we could connect with a lot of people and share what was going on with our adoption journey in a quick and efficient way.  A friend suggested a blog.... and here we are.

   I will be honest, I have kept our adoption journey pretty close to my heart.  I have been so excited, but scared to share with too many people.  I am afraid that people will have lots of opinions, negative reactions or worst of all not be excited for us.  I am stepping out in faith right now, knowing that all of these things will probably happen, but the positive reactions, the love, support and the understanding people will have of our journey will be worth every negative experience.

 A little background information for you...  Ryan and I have been accepted to adopt from Taiwan.  We are working with an organization called His Hands Taiwan (check out their website http://www.hishandstaiwan.org) .  They are a Christian organization who's mission is to "counsel, care for, and house unwed mothers in crisis pregnancies".  They also facilitate adoptions if one of these mothers decide that the best option is to give their child up for adoption.  Right now we are in the stage of the home study ( I will blog some other time about what that entails).  God willing we will be finished everything for that in August and then wait, pray and prepare for the day we get our referral from Taiwan.

   Our plan is to use this blog as a way to keep people updated on where we are at in the adoption process.  We are also looking at doing some fundraisers to help with the cost of the adoption ( you will be seeing a post soon about these) 

  Please keep us in your prayers!  We are so excited to share our adoption journey with you!  If you have an questions or comments that you want to send privately please email us at kala_michele@hotmail.com or the blog email ryankalawock@gmail.com.

Have a fantastic Canada Day!

Blessings!
