Well, I finally decided to start a blog. For 2 reasons really - 1) to document the journey of our adoption. 2) to give you all a central location for go to for updates.
Let me begin as if you have no idea who we are or you stumbled upon our site while searching for adoption information. (I've done this and follow many now)
D and I have been married for 13 wonderful years. We started young (17 & 21) and we're still young. We have 2 wonderful biological sons (B-12 and R-10) and we're expanding our famliy thru adoption. Right now we're waiting for the final word on whether or not we have been chosen to parent 3 beautiful children from Oregon. See, we chose to adopt from foster care. Not because it's noble, but because we prayed and this is where we were lead. God is our source of life and strength and we consult Him about everything :]
As we near these final, well who knows how long, but we're in the middle of this thing, we've started looking at the costs we'll soon incur. Mainly, the initial expenses that are one time. We have been blessed so far by some awesome people and I'll tell you that story later. We already have the beds and bedding we need and the rooms are pretty much set as far as necessity. We still need a lot of things, but we're worried about essentials for now. I'm hitting all the clearance racks at Target and have found some wonderful deals on clothes.
I can already tell I have to moderate myself on here because I am one who can talk all day long whether it be behind a keyboard or face to face. I will spare you the full details in this post and try to break them down into bite sized morsels... til then, be blessed.
