Adoption Excitement

Adoption has been at the heart of many of my conversations but the idea of adopting a 3rd baby has been bouncing around consistently for the last 4 months. Many of you know that it was almost a year ago that we opened a new home study to adopt Emerson's biological sister. We were content with our 2 babies but the idea of a 3rd quickly caught on.We started thinking of moving around rooms and changing out car seats. The excitement was short lived because Emerson's birth mommy chose to parent the little girl in the end. Our hearts were broken but that is the reality of adoption. Looking back now we see that moment was the first whisper.... "what would it be like to have 3?"

So here we are...home study visit was last night and the ball is rolling. Troy and I talk a lot about how our adoptions cause us to put all of our trust in the Lord! With each of adoptions I walk away a changed women more on fire for a God who gets me through it! We cant wait to see what his plan is in the coming months and we ask for prayers.

"Now I am jumping for joy, and shouting and singing my thanks to him." Psalm 28:7
