Questions? Any Questions?

Anyone who know me knows I love research.  Research is your friend.  When I want to learn about someone or something new I become stalkerish excessively curious.  I want to learn everything I can about a subject. I applied this thought process with adoption and got more than I bargained for.

I had so many questions, myths, and misinformation. What if birth mom wants the baby back?  Should I consider a baby with special needs?  If I do, which special needs? It costs how much again?  Do they need that all at one time???

To combat my ignorance I read.  I read books. I read essays. I read blogs.  Boy did I ever.  I'm still reading blogs.  Most of them has been helpful while some of them have been scary and intimidating.  I know their story is not my story.  There may be some similarities but everyone is different.  


So, I know if I have questions you have questions.  Feel free to ask.  On here or in person.


Until then...

I will take some. I promise. Eventually.

Why we're here.

I have considered adoption for many years.  As a matter of fact I originally planned to build my family through adoption.  But if you want to make God laugh make plans.  I am blessed with two children but the desire to adopt never went away.

Through years of research, prayer, and faith we came together as a family to decide to adopt a baby domestically.  We are new to this process and sometimes I feel that too much information can be daunting.  Luckily, we have received support and information from agencies and facilitators.  Our coordinator has been a big help.

We are excited and hopeful of what the future may bring.  Please pray for our endurance during this process.

Until then...
