Today marks exactly six months since we started our adoption journey. Realistically it started when I was a small girl with a very big dream. Then in February of 2004 Monte and I felt the Lord telling us that our family was not complete with three boys (I was pregnant with Josiah) and that we would be adopting. We knew from the start we would adopt two and thus our family would be complete with five children!
The last six months has gone by fast. With our referral being the next step, I am really trying to take it all in. In reality we probably won't be down the adoption road again, even though I wouldn't hesitate at the opportunity. I really want to remember as much as possible. I didn't do a great job with the boys. I didn't enjoy being pregnant and with having 3 boys in 34 months a lot of their first year is a dense fog. Praise God for camcorders and cameras or I would have no clue.
We have no idea what the next six months will look like for our family. We may have our children home or we may still be waiting. That is adoption for ya! The Lord knows who are children are, so I find comfort in knowing that it all will be done in His perfect timing!

I feel the pain on the "distant fog" memories..and my last two are now 12 months and some change apart...wow..that is the closest yet :) should be fun :) kj
I was just checking out your ticker and saw that it has been 3 months since you sent in your dossier. I was thinking of all that God has done in the last 3 months- going from the teens to #2 and can't wait to see what He accomplishes in the next 3 months. Blessings to your entire family@
Savor every moment with your boys and Monte. Before you know it you will be wondering how it all went by so quickly.
Hi tisha! Beth told me you had a blog...I didn't know you were in the adoption process! That is SO exciting!!! i'll have to stay tuned and hear more!
