Our Biggest Adventure

Daddy-to-be and I are embarking on our greatest journey to date, and believe me, that's saying something. Our almost-four-year-old marriage has produced some tall tale adventures (all true, I might add), but this one kinda takes the cake.  God had this one planned from the start, and we wake up each day knowing that He's got something pretty amazing set aside for us. Trust me, too, that we are not only looking forward to the end product, we're enjoying every minute of the ride. We live in constant expectation and surprise.
To be quite honest, our life together is pretty amazing: we're not perfect, but we are certainly perfect for each other. It's cheesy, I know, but it's true. We live the good life: a great home, family close by, a wonderful church, two of the ugliest dogs on the planet--a life of comfort and peace and lots and lots of love. And since we've been so blessed, how could we not want to add to our family?
"But when the fullness of the time had come, God sent forth His Son..that we might receive the adoption as sons."
Galatians 4:4-6
Adoption was our best and first choice. For those of you that know us, you know why adotion is so near and dear to our hearts.  And for those just joining us, not only was Mr. adopted as an infant into the Kraft family, but we were both adopted as children of God. And we consider that the most beautiful way to start a family.
"Father to the fatherless, defender of widows — this is God, whose dwelling is holy. God places the lonely in families."
Psalms 68:5-6
We'd love to have you check back with us often and travel this road with us!
Love,
Daddy and Mama K
