8 Months+

So, I started this blog, but didn't continue...much like me. I get excited, but than the fun and excitement fizzles and than I have to decide if I should quit or continue.
As far as adoption goes I'm all in. There was a post on one of the adoption sites I'm on asking when do you know it's time to give up and quit the adoption journey. I feel my answer is never. I guess I feel that if are going to trust God to bring us to this, he is going to bring us through this! Adoption is how we are going to grow our family. What may change is the choices we have made along the way. We chose the agency, we chose the race and age of child we are waiting for. Those things may change in the future, but what will not change (I don't think) is our desire for another child. A member of this family. So, it's been 8 months and soon it will be a year and we will have to up date our homestudy. We will because maybe God's timeline is one year and one day. I don't know, but I trust He does!

First Blog

Wow, here it is my first blog entry.

I thought I would start this blog to release some feelings as we wait for our second child through adoption.

As of today, Monday January 15th we have been waiting 2 months, 3 weeks, 6 days.

Well, that's officially waiting...meaning the day we turned in our family profile book and were available to be shown to expecting parents considering adoption for their child.

We've really been waiting or at least on this journey for much longer. Check out the adoption timeline for specifics.

Today I'm feeling neutral, or I like to call it at peace. My constant prayer is for peace and patience. Let go and let God! But that doesn't mean I don't think about the baby, wonder when it will happen. You know what it feels like? A Jack-in-the-box. Remember that childhood toy? Carson hates them! But any way, sometimes this adoption journey feels like I'm turning the crank on a jack-in-the-box and and I don't know when or what turn will pop the box open and reveal our baby! It's all a mystery!
