Collaborating with the Lord will bring blessings that far outweigh all your concerns and troubles.
Let God be your guide and give you wisdom on the steps to take in your adoption journey. Turn to Him to find out the next action needed to reach His and your goals in your life. He wants to help you with His wisdom.
Trust in the Lord with all your heart and lean not on your own understanding; in all your ways submit to him, and he will make your paths straight.
-Proverbs 3:5-6
In difficult times, don’t ever give up. Breathe deeply and pray for the Godly Wisdom that God has for you. Spend time today in prayer and reading the Bible. Even if it’s only for five minutes, it will make a difference. Every answer you need and want is in there for you!
