Adopting God's Plan :)

OK...first off sorry for the hiatus.  It's been a crazy couple of months and not all in good ways.  The week following my D&C Scott's Dad passed suddenly.  It's been so difficult and we miss him very much.  We know he is with the Lord but I'm selfish and I want to see him.  The last conversation I had with him I told him we would name our children after him, so it shall happen.  And speaking of children....

Many of you know that Scott and I have endured four miscarriages, two rounds of IVF and many many heartaches.  After all we have gone through and learned the best lesson is this:  being parents has so little to do with conception and pregnancy and more to do with the lifetime following those two experiences.  We feel very strongly that we gave having a biological child for now, our best efforts.  We also feel very strongly that God is calling us to adopt a beautiful little baby!!!  We have finished our adoption application and it is ready to turn in.  We've been working steadily on these 40-50 pieces of paper for over a month now.  I cannot wait to move one step closer to our beautiful child!!!  I hope Dad is watching this all unfold from heaven :).  He's about to have another grand-baby!  I love and miss you Dad.  Can't wait to add to the beautiful family you've raised.
