Exciting news for the McClard Family....we are adopting!!! When Dave and I first married we always talked about the dream of having our own children and then someday adding to our family by adoption. The Lord started working in our hearts about a year ago telling us now was the time, we have spent much time as a family on our knees the past few months about the decision of where adopt from. We were very strongly considering travelling to Ethiopia for our next family member, but we could not shake the burden in our hearts for African American and Bi-Racial babies born right here in Raleigh that need the love of a family.
With all that being said, we have been accepted by Amazing Grace Adoptions, a Christian adoption agency here in Raleigh that will be handling our adoption. We are all very excited, especially Nathan & Emily who can't wait for a new baby brother or sister! We feel so blessed that the Lord adopted us into His family and are excited to share His love to another child.
We ask for your prayers as we embark on this journey, adoption can be a long and costly process, but we have faith that if God has called us to do this He will provide!
