Headed in a New Direction

If you know us at all, you know about our struggles in becoming a family consisting of more than just Dan and me.
Getting pregnant has been an elusive butterfly we've been chasing for....a long time.

This last week an opportunity to adopt a baby through private adoption was presented to us.
The mom is about four months along. Her due date is March 29th.
I'm not really willing to give many details about the birth parents, out of respect for them.

This blog is simply an account of our journey down this road.

There is risk, yes.

But as a dear friend reminded me yesterday, there is risk in every pregnancy, at every stage. This just happens to be from another vantage point.

Dan and I are super stoked about this!!!!!

We have to find a lawyer and have a home study done. I have no idea where to start with that. We don't really know any lawyers around here or how much it will be.

Will you pray?
1. For the birth parents...that they will be at peace with this decision throughout the process...for health, safety, and protection.
2. For favor to go before us in finding a good lawyer we can afford, a positive home study, and finances.
3. For the hearts of all involved.

Five months until the due date.

Will you walk with us down this road? We will need you should road blocks arise.

Ready?
Set?
Here we go..........
