Orphans
I've been thinking about adoption a lot lately thinking of topics to write about for this blog and I was reminded of a time in Weds night youth group but I think it was actually a Sunday. I went to Cedar Valley church and most days I would drive by myself to church. Most families (or many families) at the church would drive together from the same house to church and many times sit together with their families. But me and my friend Theresa, our families did not go to church or not the same church so we would call ourselves orphans and sometimes sit together with the other families.
Its kind of disconcerting knowing the strength of families when you are alone, at church or wherever. I hope that my adoptive son or daughter doesn't feel like an add on to family like an over thought or a second thought. I want them to know that we chose them, we want them, they were always ment for our family and God knew this too. He made them to be part of their birth family and our family and fit into both. I want them to know everything they want to know and can find out about that family, and to know that we will always be there for them. I hope in the same way the God is for us in Psalms 23.
Lord, I pray for our son and/or daughter, that you be with them when Me and Nick cannot, give them a sense of peace and carry them though this process with us as we wait for them, and they for us. Amen

My first post/ About Us
.jpg)
Hi My name is Teisha Coyour and my husbands name is Nick. We have two biological children Hayli 2, and Kairi 1. That's our 2009 Christmas Photo. The background was a green screen, and the background picture was actually a painting :)
We went to our first "Learn about international adoption" Class in Feb 2010 and we thought that the Korea program would work best for our family. We got to talk to a family who adopted their daughter from Korea, I don't remember all that much from that class but we found out that we would have to wait to adopt until I was 25, which now I am 23. So now is our time to Read books about adoption, fund raise and prepare.

I actually found a really good book that I just started reading and its called "20 things adopted kids wish their adoptive parents knew" by Sherrie Eldridge. I found it from a link on a website and just had to read it. After I read the first 3 pages on amazon I was already crying. So I'm going to be reading it and probably commenting on how good it was in the near future.
I came up with the name Spirit of Adoption from the bible verse, Romans 8:15 which says " For you have not received a spirit of slavery leading to fear again, but you have received a spirit of adoption as sons by which we cry out, "Abba! Father!"" Which talks about believers as adopted sons and daughters.

We have also started fundraising a little bit with Garage sales, My mom has had two already at her house and we will have one again in August sometime (I don't remember which weekend) but it will be the last one this year. If anyone has any ideas for fundraising (events etc) please message me on Facebook or Comment on the first post -Teisha
