You may recognize the title as a line from the movie "The Patriot". This phrase is often used in battle or war meaning to continue pursuing your goal regardless of obstacles or criticism. Ana and I are not in a physical battle but most days it does feel like an emotional and spiritual battle, but one thing we have always felt over the last 10 years was that we should "stay the course"! We have certainly had our share of obstacles and disappointment but God has stayed faithful and has given us the grace we have needed each day to continue to walk this journey towards parenthood.
We started this blog as an online journal just for the two of us to share our feelings and wisdom to our baby while Ana was pregnant. We thought it would be fun to print them one day and let her read them when she was older.
Today we will use this blog to share our journey towards adoption. So feel free to read along and leave a comment or two!

Ana and Shawn,
ReplyDeleteYour blog is wonderful. I especially love the nickname you gave Hannah..."Bun". I am praying for you both, and also Brian and Kristi as you all go through the adoption process.
I'm glad I have the chance to follow your journey.
Peace,
Kerry
As always, it's an honor to be a part of your journey. Thanks for inviting us along for the ride! Much love to you both :)
