Wow! I can't believe it's already May.  I was just telling Okey last night that I haven't updated the blog in a while.  We have just been so busy with all that life has thrown at us. 
It's been about 5 months since we answered God's call to adopt.  I don't want to sound impatient but it sometimes feels like this process is just dragging along.  I just keep saying "It's all in God's timing."  Don't get me wrong, I truly believe it.  It can just be hard sometimes to be patient, especially when it has been something we have desired for years now.
A month or so ago, we were able to go to our adoption agency's orientation meeting and then to an infant care class at a local hospital.  It was an amazing weekend.  During the orientation meeting we were able to experience God's presence.  It was so wonderful to meet other couples going through the process.  We were even able to speak with adoptive parents and one birth mother.  Listening to their experiences helped ease our worries and see how God can work through this adoption journey.
During the infant care class, we were able to speak to the two instructors about what God was doing in our lives.  One of the ladies teaching the class was even able to tell Okey what his name meant.  Apparently it is very common in Nigeria and means "Gift of God" or "Gift from God". 
I don't even know how to put into words everything that we experienced or felt that weekend.  God is good.
