Adoption as Plan A: Surprise!

Surprise!

...and not the way some of you might think either! We're pregnant! Due September 8th! God sure likes surprises! So...looks like we have two babies in our future. "Brothers (or sisters) from a different mother!"...as Daniel likes to say. We are truly humbled at the work of our God. His ways are not our ways, nor are his thoughts our thoughts. What a mighty God we serve.

Mar. 2012 - Agency receives GBI prints. Home Study is complete. We let the agency know we're expecting a baby. They tell us we need to put our adoption on "hold" until the birth of this baby.
May 2012 - We meet with the agency and several things are cleared up. It was clarified that we can not continue our adoption until our biological child is at least one-year old. We put everything in God's hands and continue to pray for our future child through adoption!
