Waiting Family...Officially

11/14/14 ... the day we officially became a waiting adoptive family. That is our DTE date (Dossier to Ethiopia)

Now I am doubly pregnant and we settle into a wait. A necessary wait if we want to be sure all is done legally and in the best interest of our child. So today I am pregnant with two children, one that I have begun to feel move in my belly and the other that has already stretched my heart a few sizes.

There are a lot of unknowns and what if's currently in our adoption process. Right now we are staying put in the 0-4 age range, healthy or with minor special needs. That wait is long and we are not naive about this wait, we are expecting it and expecting the ups and downs a long the way but we know in the end God has a plan for us and we are only beginning to see the glimpses of what is to come.


Happy National Adoption Month to our family, how fitting that we started this process in January (officially) and this stage has come to an end and the next begins in November, National Adoption Month.
