Dillon Informational Meeting

This morning, Chris and I attended our first informational meeting in researching adoption agencies. The meeting was held by Dillon International. We walked away more encouraged and strengthened in knowing this is the plan God has designed to grow our family.

The couple leading the meeting shared about their personal experience with Dillon, and bringing their daughter home from Korea. They did a great job relating to those with children and those who have battled with infertility, as they experienced this in their own journey. 

We gained more knowledge of how the adoption process will work through Dillon and narrowed the country down to India. We will continue to pray, every day and every step of the way, but India seems to be where God keeps leading us. Since our first mission trip to India in 06-07, our love for the Indian culture and people continues to grow. 

So, if we decide to use Dillon, the next step will be to fill out the first application. We want to talk/meet with the social worker overseeing India. The wait time can take up to 3 - 3 1/2 years, and that is from now. Whatever the wait time, it will be God's timing.  Always perfect.  

A verse that touched my heart this week - Proverbs 13:12 NIV - Hope deferred makes the heart sick, but a longing fulfilled is a tree of life.

Much love,
