A For Adventure - Adventures In Adoption

I figured now was as good a time as any to dust off the ol' blog. As much as I love writing, I just haven't had the time, patience, or resources to do so. A lot has happened since my last post. My husband and I have lost two pregnancies. One at 15 weeks in October 2012, and one more recently at 20 weeks, just a few weeks ago. In total we have three children, although two we wont get to hold until we meet again in Heaven.

This blog is now going to serve a bigger purpose. To keep those interested in our adoption process in the loop. We have no plans on ever trying to have kids of our own again. We feel strongly that God is pulling us in the direction of adoption, to what capacity we are unsure of. But we're ready. We've been ready. Although our faith is on shaky ground, we are once again choosing to trust God's plans for our lives. We are choosing to believe that our heartache will serve a divine purpose. We are choosing to believe that we will have more children.

Adoption has always been on our radar, although I do admit it was a distant plan. Now everything is so real. Research is happening and plans are being made. I don't think I've ever requested more information on any particular topic in my life. And all the information out there is so overwhelming, but exciting at the same time. Things are getting real around here and we will anxiously await the arrival of our new little one.
