The Petersen Family

Introducing our family on a website about orphans, adoption, grace, and love is answered prayer for us! We are on a journey that we can't truly believe we are really on and yet I think we knew we would be here one day! Being adopted at 2 1/2 from the foster care system in Kentucky, I have always had a heart for adoption!! Though, by God's grace, we never had trouble getting pregnant and have three wonderful children. After deciding if we were gong to have more children or not, we got pregnant and weeks later I had a miscarriage! It was very difficult, as any miscarriage is! But I believe God put something in our hearts after that, we knew our family wasn't complete. We just didn't know what that meant! Years later of prayers, talking, and unbelievable and undeniable guidance we began the process of adopting from the foster care system! We started in May this year and today we were hoping to sign our home study, but you all know the expectations and reality of adoption does not match sometimes! So, I pray next week we will sign our home study for foster care and go up for approval for SNAP this month! We know our daughter is already picked for us, as all your children are picked for yours! We ask for your prayers for faith as we wait for His timing to bring her home! God bless you all, you all have a special place in our hearts and prayers! I love watching and reading your stories of God's plan unfolding for each of us for His kingdom and His glory!!
