We have BIG news!!! The Justice family is growing again by 2 tiny little feet. We are excited, shocked and trusting God with every step. A couple of weeks ago, we got a call from the lawyer that we adopted Eli through. The birth mom is pregnant again and Eli has a half brother on the way! They wanted us to be the first to know in case we would be open to adopting another little boy and keeping these brothers together. This completely stopped us in our tracks. The last couple of weeks have been full of prayer and emotions. It has been the start of the craziest ride but we have trusted that God would lead us.
Our answer is a YES! We have the privilege and honor of adopting a baby brother for Liam and Eli and we are thrilled. God is the ultimate story writer and we know that this will be beautiful. He has called our family to adoption from the beginning and we truly could not imagine it any other way. We would be so grateful for your prayers and support for this birth mom and our little one growing in her belly. Pray also for our family as we anticipate this addition in a few short months. They always say “it takes a village” and we certainly cannot do this without our community. If you feel called to go beyond prayer and contribute financially to our adoption cost, we would be so grateful. Our goal is $35,000 by the time baby boy comes home. We would love to watch God move in helping us. I know that through Him, anything is possible. Whether you choose to donate or pray hard and watch Him with us, we will be sure to keep you updated on our progress in being obedient to what we believe we are called to do. All donations are tax deductible. God continues to write the most beautiful story and we want to thank you for walking alongside us as we welcome a new member into our family through adoption again. All our love, The Justice Family Stewart, Amber, Liam, Eli and Baby Boy.
Well friends, it has been a whirlwind, but our little man made a swift entrance into the world on Saturday, February 4th at 4:44 in the morning. We got the call at 4:30 and while I sat in bed and prayed over the details before us, little Micah made his entrance into the world.
He was born at 4lbs 15oz and 18 1/4 inches long. Perfect little body. Light skin. Long fingers and toes and his big brothers little chin dimple. He is absolute perfection and we feel in love the moment we walked into the room. This little buddy, that literally thousands have prayed for was here and God has truly answered every prayer. Protection over his little body was one of our biggest, fiercest prayers and he was protected, safe and healthy.
We have been in the NICU since he was born as he gets some extra TLC for 10 days but he is doing so so good. Already back up to his birth weight and almost a mighty 5 lbs. We will take it. We have another week here in the hospital and then we will wait for all paperwork to clear for us to cross state lines and head back home. We are soaking in this time, the snuggles, and the yumminess of every ounce of his tininess. He is literally so perfect. And another amazing God detail, Micah looks like Stewart. The kindness of God in the simplest of details. We. are. stilled!
Friends, we are literally brought to tears by the details of this journey. Gods presence has comforted us every step of the way and it have taken our breath away. We are so humbled and grateful for the mighty army of warriors that have prayed, supported, donated, cheered us on, every step of the way. It is truly Gods story and we are so honored that he would make our family, exactly what it is. Perfection with our 3 little men.
We love you, we are grateful for you and we cannot wait to share sweet Micah with his brothers, our families and you all. Thank you for loving us. We would not be here without you.
Micah 6:8, Seek justice, love mercy, walk humbly with our God.
Well, we are almost there. We are in the home stretch of this journey of faithfully praying for this little one as he grows in his tummy mommy's belly and we are officially on Baby Watch!!!
We are grateful. Excited. Overwhelmed. So deeply loved and supported and our hearts are SO humbled for each and every one of you that has walked alongside us in this journey. EACH AND EVERY ONE of you is precious to us. If you have supported us through the gift of finances, we are grateful. If you have been a prayer warrior on your knees covering every detail of this journey, we are grateful. If you have shared this story and offered encouragement, we are grateful. If you have passed along your baby items that you are no longer needing to allow us the joy of using them, we are grateful. You are a part of this tribe and it takes a village, a fierce army that walks alongside and carries us through.
We are soaking in every moment with our two big boys right now, knowing that truly at any moment, we could get the call to head down to Florida. Our prayers in the coming days are for the 3 P's. Protection. Provision and Peace. We are praying for protection over baby brother, over birth momma, over every detail of delivery. Protection as we will head down there and be away from our bigs. Protection over all the details, seen and unseen, now and as we move forward. Provision as we sprint to reach our mighty goal. God has already gone before us and keeps showing up in unreal ways that meet us right where we are with exactly what we need, so continued prayers for the remaining funds and support. And then for peace. Peace as we wait and anticipate all that is to come. Peace for birth mom as she makes a brave choice for baby brother. Peace for our boys while we are away from them and peace for us as we walk forward, trusting FULLY that God is in the details, that he is up to his best work when we are completely and fully surrendered to him.
We are excited and expectant!!!
We love you guys so much and we cannot wait to share this little miracle with you all soon.
Baby brother,
you are fearfully and wonderfully made.
you are fiercely loved and fought for.
you will be mighty in the land that God has called you to
you will make his name faithfully known for the story he hare written in you and through you, even now, before you have taken your first breath.
Love you little buddy and I cannot wait to meet you, so so soon.
Hi precious friends and family.
What a whirlwind these last few days have been for our family. The love and out pouring of support as we trust the story that the Lord is writing have been overwhelming. We are so humbled and grateful that you all would love on our family with prayers and support in this way.
When we posted this page, Sunday morning at 11:00am, we had an immediate goal of $6,000 by today, Wednesday October 12th. Well, we meet that goal, and you all made that happen in 24 hours. YES, 24 hours in and we had $6,000 needed. God is showing us tangibly that we are doing what he has called us to THROUGH EACH OF YOU!
Next steps for us look like a lot of paperwork as we are getting our home study done. And then working on additional paperwork for grants, loans and fundraising opportunities.
Micah 7:7 says But as for me, I watch in hope for the Lord, I wait for God my Savior; my God will hear me. We are truly sitting in this sweet spot of watching the Lord do what he has already called us to. We are pushing any and all fear or anxiousness aside, fully surrendering to Him and watching with GREAT HOPE.
Thank you for loving us. For praying with us. For praying over this sweet birth mom and little baby boy. We are truly at a loss for words, but we are so grateful to be a part of what is happening. We know that this story is going to be beautiful, every detail so far, already has been.
We love you guys!
Stewart, Amber, Liam, Eli and Baby Boy.
