We're Adopting!!
That's right- after much prayer and consideration, we have decided to make an attempt at domestic adoption. More about how we got to this point in the next post. For now, let's establish this much: We decided to adopt domestically because, at least this first time around, we are interested in adopting an infant. International adoption usually merges a family with an older child. Maybe next time. This time, we want an infant. Yea, I know- that means late and sleepless nights, long periods of unexplainable crying, diapers that should be registered with the government as a toxic weapon... But it also means that first belly laugh, the first time they roll over, the first crawl, the first step, and, we get to do it together. Now if there just happen to be some afternoons when I have to rock the child to sleep and then find myself trapped under a sleeping baby, well then, I will sacrifice and sleep as well- (so as to not wake the child, of course.)
So, in order to keep friends and family posted concerning the progress of this effort, we decided to blog. OMG! We are just with it!!
Feel free to leave comments- we would love to hear from you. We will try to post as often as possible with new information, or just our latest thoughts and feelings.
Let the journey begin!!
