John and Mandi's Adoption Story

John and I knew when we got married that adoption would be the way we would grow our family. I (Mandi) found out when I was in high school that I was unable to have children. As soon as we got married we started looking into where we wanted to adopt from and prayed for the Lord's timing. A week after our first anniversary we received a call about a 8 month old baby girl that was going to be given up for adoption. Though connections the birth mother got our name and wanted to meet with us. Long story shot, exactly one month later we brought Cassidy home! Her adoption was not without struggles and it was over a year later before it was finally completed, and now we are very excited to be starting the process to adopt from the United States! I would have never chosen this story for myself, but I now count myself extremely blessed to have adoption as part of my story. God has completely changed our hearts and we have found such a wonderful community through adoption to be a part of. His hand was so completely evident throughout the adoption process with Cassidy and we are praying for the same evidence as we start the journey once again. God is so good and has been so faithful and we are excited to walk this road, knowing that He is walking with us every step of the way!

If you want to help John and Mandi out with the financial side of their adoption you can go to the Once Was Lost Shop, make a purchase and put their names down in the notes to seller box when you are checking out.
