Yes, you read that right. We were asked if we were interested in adopting a less than year old baby boy. That is about all I know right now. The mom does not want (how sad) him and family cannot keep him so they are considering their options. Does this sound promising? No, not at all. But I have no idea what God has in mind and we are open to whatever He wants. But seriously, can we just get some directions here?!?!? This up and down, stop and go stuff is getting old. All of the these situations contact us and then they don't work out. I wish that we could get a clear answer on what is going to happen in our lives. I feel like a kid playing a game of Red Light, Green Light waiting for the next color to be called. Ahhhhh!!!!!!!

  1. I have close friends who have struggled with infertility much longer than DH and I. (EA isn't an option for them.) They pursued domestic adoption and were waiting to be chosen for the baby they'd dreamed of.
    This fall, they got a call about two kids that the mom "didn't want." (I don't know how that's even possible, but mom wanted to give up her 2 and 3 year olds)
    They finalized the adoption last month and there's no doubt in anyone's mind that this was the perfect family that God has chosen for them. And they are perfect for the kids' needs.
    Good luck with your decision! May God's will be super clear to you!
