Today is my thirty-second birthday and I couldn’t think of a better way to celebrate then to share our big announcement with you!! We are so excited to share that we are adopting baby number four!!
The dream of growing a large family hasn’t always been in my heart. Before we got married I thought I only wanted to two maybe three children at the most but over the years that has changed! With the addition of each child I can’t imagine it being our last little one and I long for another sweetheart to join our family. Fil and I have been doing lots of talking and praying and feel that we are called and are crazy excited to adopt again! Growing our family through adoption feels so right and beautiful and gives me all the feels. When we told the kids we’d be adding another baby to the family they couldn’t have been more excited!
I am sure you will all have lots of questions along the way and we are so excited to be sharing about our adoption right from the beginning of our journey this time around so that we can share lots of details with you and help you see inside a real life adoption. We hope this helps make it less scary for those of you considering adoption and opens up the conversation and awareness about what a beautiful thing adoption can be. That being said we are just in the very beginning stages which means we have just started our home study. So we are filling out tons of paperwork, getting things notarized, and getting our home ready for a home visit. Our home study will take roughly three months and entails a lot of different steps that we will keep you filled in on along the way. We are adopting an infant from the United States and the process can take anywhere from several months to over a year. The unknown is hard but we know it’s all worth it!
Thank you for coming along with us on this fun, beautiful, scary and exciting adventure with us. We are so excited to grow our family and share all of our love with another precious little one!!
