This Highway

I started this blog to journal our family's journey while adopting our daughter. I named it Heckert's Highway because this is just one of the many highway's that we have traveled throughout our lives and it won't be the last. This blog will be but a glimpse of the incredible and often times turbulant journey that we will take to Kazakhstan to adopt our little girl.

We started discussing adoption last year around the end of October. Well, we actually have always talked about it, but usually with a cynical defeated attitude. We never thought that we would actually be able to afford an international adoption therefore why discuss it any more. God had other plans... Not only were we discussing, we were hoping, planning, and trying to pick an agency. God led us to All God's Children International, based in Portland, OR and we just contracted with them on June 5th. They will be fascilitating our adoption and walking us through the paperwork and international hooplah in order to bring our daughter home.

I hope you enjoy our story. I pray that it will inspire you to adopt or support adoption. I believe that it is at the very heart of God for us to rescue orphans.
