Thanks, God!

We decided to adopt a baby back in January. I thought that was the easy part! It sure wasn't! Then we had to choose international or domestic, agency or private adoption, baby or toddler, and the list goes on and on! After a lot of prayer and research, we've chosen to adopt a newborn infant from right here in Texas. Hopefully, we'll be able to take the baby home from the hospital with us!

Next, we had to decide on an agency. We found a great agency here in Texas that we loved, but it was going to be a wait of over a year before we could even start the process because they had so many interested adoptive parents. So, we looked into an a law firm in California that some of our friends have used. I printed out the paperwork and was ready to start the application for the California place. I prayed one last prayer for peace and wisdom throught this whole process. It's nerve wracking to decide where to get your baby! It's one of those decisions you don't want to mess up. Mark got home from worked and noticed that we had a message. It was the lady from the Texas agency! She told us that we were next on the waiting list to start the process! The wait that should have been 12-14 months was only 2 months, and just happened to end on the same night that we were about to apply for another agency. We are so thankful that God so vividly showed us the choice we needed to make. We've got a Memorial Day full of paperwork ahead of us!
