Adoption...

I have been trying so hard to wait a little while to announce the news, but I just cant.... WE ARE ADOPTING AGAIN! I am trying to contain myself as it is far to early to be this anxious.  We are locking down a homestudy agency.  We cannot use our previous one due to China changing some regulations.  So Leah who knows us well and could write our homestudy quickly cant do it. :( We have found an agency we want to use and now need to see if they will sign a cooperative agreement with Childrens home. I want to move so quickly lol. I need to get a grip because I am in for a long trip.... But standing at the begining is so different this time.  We are wiser, we know the process and we know what to expect. Although it is funny what we have already forgotten, in talking to Merissa (my friend adopting from Philippines) I find myself looking up paperwork to remember how and when things happened. 

We knew we wanted to adopt again, but weren't sure when we would start, but thanks to Merissa and a beautiful little girl named Gabrielle we got a kick start.  Gabrielle is already matched with a family, but she now shares in our legacy because she is the face that got us to move.  Please pray for us as we start a new journey, we have so many days to go and so much money to raise, but I walk this journey with a different kind of faith, I know God did this once and I know He will do it again.  We have new friends and connections and we have new ideas. 

To all of you that watched last time, and have said you have thought about adoption, what are you waiting for? Come with us... your little one is waiting, their spirit is crying out... can you hear them? 

I cannot wait to see Ariana with her little sister... she is out there somewhere and we are looking and praying for God to direct us to her... I love that I can now say I have four precious children... sigh... God you are beautiful, thank you for allowing us to bring home another one of your precious gifts...
