Here We Go....

Well, I'm done fighting against the pull.  Done with my own personal excuses.  No more, "when the baby is (x) old" or "when summer is over" or the ever-popular "when we have more money saved."   Have you ever had that still small voice telling you it's time, act now, time is wasting?  I've had it for a couple years now.  It tells me my baby is out there.  He's in a place far away and we need to go get him.  So here we are.  International Adoption.  The research is done, the country is picked, the application is mailed and the costs have begun.  Now all my heart has left to think about is.....where is my baby sleeping tonight.  Is he hungry?  Is he cold?  Does he know that I already love him?

We are excited.  Intimidated.  Happy!  We're coming precious boy!

  5. Now we're actively waiting for our new grandson! It's exciting and scary at the same time. We're proud of you for how you're raising your own daughters and the difference you're already making in your foster childrens' lives, and now for the the forever change in the life of an otherwise orphan. Just knowing he's out there is killing us! Get him home soon! We'll be praying!

    Love, Mom & Dad

  7. What a lucky little boy! This will no doubt be an exciting journey for all of you. I pray it will be trouble free and quick. There's a tree waiting to be planted at his grandparents house, I'm sure. Bless you and your family, Lindsey.
