I waited patiently for the Lord; And he inclined to me and heard my cry. Psalm 40:1 (NASB)
I shared with you the heartbreak of our experience with the adoption that fell apart. It was a pain that Cindy and I will never forget, but it was also a time that we saw God’s love for us through family and friends. As I have said, our loved ones helped us see that God is in charge and His blessings for us were coming!
Cindy and I had submitted a descriptive profile to the adoption agency for mothers to review. We started praying for something about us to jump out at a birthmother who would be selecting a couple to raise her baby.
A month to the day after our failed adoption, we got a call from the agency that we had been selected again! A young lady had seen a picture of Cindy wearing a Dallas Cowboy’s t-shirt and decided to read our profile. The lesson here is no detail is too small for God to use!
We met our new friend (birthmother) on a Monday and brought our son Brandon Reese Ferguson home on a Friday afternoon. When it’s a “God thing” and you know He is calling you to follow His will, sit down and let him take the lead. His blessings come to us on His terms, so try to enjoy the ride.
