our journey begins...

an exciting journey awaits...a journey of faith, hope & love...a journey that will stretch us, our family & help us understand James 1:27 in a whole new light...a journey that will give a sister to our Haven....

For many years adoption has been on both of our hearts...even before the good Lord introduced Arlan and I to one another, the love for the fatherless has been in our lives.  Since getting married in 2006 we have researched & prayed through many countries, options & whether or not the timing was right to bring a little Miller into our home....

...and just this past April, we decided the timing was right.  We have begun the process of adopting a little Ugandan girl with Children of All Nations and hope to have her home by the end of next summer.

We have now just begin working on our dossier and hope to get that submitted sometime this summer. We are excited, apprehensive & trusting...your prayers & love mean so much to us and we will keep you updated through this blog.

trusting in Him...Arlan, Katie & Haven

Very exciting! While I'll admit the journey has been stretching at times for us, the lessons God has taught me about His provision and faithfulness have been worth it alone . . .not even to mention the thought of our child waiting! He is good. And what a blessing for her and for you all.

We'll be prayerful for you guys!
