GOD is soooo GOOD!

I'm sitting here looking at my son and just thanking God for such a great gift!  He's just a little over one week old and he has been used by God in so many ways!  How can a week old little boy be used by God?  Oh believe me they can!

Here are a couple of ways that God has used Micaiah:

• I have been humbled at the fact that God would choose a hyperactive person like me to take care of such a delicate person.
• Micaiah is a living miracle.  He could have been another statistic to the abortion rate.  However, God has other plans.
• God is using Micaiah to teach many of us to just TRUST HIM!!  God has the entire adoption process in His hands and we just have to trust Him to be God and do His thing!

As Cyndi and I travel back to Charleston tomorrow, part of us is staying in Fort Wayne, but we hold firm to the fact that GOD IS IN CONTROL!

One Great Photo of Micaiah

My sister was taking a picture of Micaiah and here is what she snapped

Want to visit Micaiah, or Cyndi and I while we are in IN?

We would love for anyone and everyone who wants to come and visit, with Micaiah or would like to spend some time with Cyndi and I, to do so. 

If you want to see Micaiah, then...

1. You must be willing to come to my parents' house in New Haven.  Caiah isn't quite 16 and he can't drive to you.

2.  You must be willing to wash your hands...I know some people may be allergic to water but we do have some stuff the hospital gave us to prevent germage.

3. We ask that you just don't show up to my parents.  If there is anyway you can, either call me, email me, send me a message on here or FACEBOOK.

4. We are still also at the mercy of the Indiana courts, so if we have to cancel on you coming to see Micaiah, please don't be offended.  We will reschedule.

If you want to hang out with Cyndi and Jeremiah, then...

1.  We are up for having Dinner (we are on a very limited budget) but would be willing to go to dinner as long as Grandma Cathy and Nay Nay (my mom) is willing and available to watch Micaiah.

2. If you want to come see us in New Haven just let us know!

WE WANT TO SEE ANYONE AND EVERYONE THAT WE CAN!!!

we also ask that no gift other than donations towards the adoption be given if possible (while we are in Indiana, we do have to drive back to SC and don't have space for a lot of gifts).  if writing a check please make it payable to Jeremiah Brown and in the notes/memo section write "The Micaiah Fund"

The Joys of Adoption

I have always been told adoption is so expensive and it can be a very long process...I never really knew until now!

When we were asked to adopt my 18 year old cousin's unborn baby, we couldn't say no.  So I hired a lawyer in Charleston, SC and thought everything was being taken care of by him.  Needless to say two days before we were to travel to Indiana, I come to find out that nothing has been done.  

So I hired a lawyer in Indiana who knew Indiana law and knew what needed to be done!  Let me tell you, this man is awesome!  God is really opening the doors and showing us some really awesome things through this entire process.  But there are some worries and we aren't completely out of the dark.  We have no idea when anything is going to go through and we can't leave Indiana until everything goes through.  SO PLEASE PRAY!  We also have had a lot more added expenses, now having to hire another lawyer, and general costs, etc.  But if you would like to contribute to what we are calling the Micaiah Fund please contact me and let me know.

The biggest need is PRAYER!!  Pray that everything goes through with the adoption and fast!  Pray that Cyndi and I are the parents that God wants us to be.  Pray for Micaiah!  Also pray for Megan, she has some great goals in mind and God can really use her. 

Well that's about all for now.
