Comments on: Our Precious New Daughter Leeann http://louxfamilyblog.com/2009/02/our-precious-new-daughter-leeann/ Living out an "Adoption Revolution" fueled by night and day prayer Thu, 17 May 2012 11:07:36 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.0.5 By: Allison http://louxfamilyblog.com/2009/02/our-precious-new-daughter-leeann/comment-page-1/#comment-1604 Allison Sat, 16 Jan 2010 19:22:40 +0000 http://louxfamilyblog.com/2009/02/our-precious-new-daughter-leeann/#comment-1604 Renee, I have been following your blog for about the past year. My husband and I have 3 biological children and have been interested in adopting since before we had our first child, who is now 5. We have looked into several countries and we feel drawn to the Marshall Islands and India. Do you have any information about adopting from the Marshall Islands? We have found 1 agency that works with that country? Did you all go through an agency or did you not have to since your family is there? We are still very much praying about adopting a little boy (for our son, whose name is Josiah age 2...crazy huh!) but I wanted your expertise. We too are in Kansas City, MO north of the river. If you could email me that would be a blessing! We also want you to know that we are grieved by the loss of Derek and are praying for your family. We know the Lord has a plan and that He will be glorified through this. And what an awesome thought KNOWING Derek is in the presence of Christ right now! Blessings, Allison Dull Renee,

We're up to 13 now and while my husband points out that technically the 15 passanger van is full now......there are always buses right?! <br/><br/>This quote reminded me of the message Derek gave when he came to Iowa:<br/><br/>"The effects of sin include abandonment. The purpose of the gospel is adoption. The kingdom of darkness works feverishly to create "fatherless generations."
