There's more

When I think that we’ve researched every possible adoption agency out there….. there’s more.

When I think we’ve compared our agency “top runners” enough and there are no more questions we could think of….. there’s more.

When I think we’ve learned of every “type” of adoption or adoption path available….. there’s more.

When we’ve watched several adoption DVD’s, read adoption books, magazines and articles and think surely we’ve covered all of our resources in helping us make this decision….. there’s more.

When we’ve poured our hearts out to God for months on end and I think that we have run out of words and emotion to pour into our prayers….. there’s more.

When I think I’ve cried all the tears I could possibly cry….. there’s more.

Lots more.

When we started seriously looking into adoption we were 100% there.  Now, after researching even more and praying even more about it……  I have to say, if it’s possible, we are 200% there.  All of our fears are basically out the window.  We are READY.  We are ready for the challenge, for the commitment, for the sacrifice, for the love.  The love we will give to our child, for the love we’ll receive from our child and for the love we’ll feel from our Lord. 

We’ve received lots of gifts from the Lord and are incredibly thankful.  We’re asking him now, for what we consider one of the greatest gifts of all.

“Children are a blessing and a gift from the LORD.”  ~Psalm 127:3 CEV

We hope to choose an adoption agency within the next month and START THE PROCESS!  It’s a long process, we know.  But we are ready.  We are ready to be waiting for our precious child.
