After Nolan was born, because of my hard pregnancy and having a lupus flare up after delivering, we decided that we were not going to have anymore. The risks were high and the outcome not promising. We felt that it was meant to be that we would just have Nolan. (& Of course Ian). We accepted it but never fully and almost a year ago adoption seemed to lay really heavy in my heart. I read books, blogs, and websites. The more I read the more I realized that it is a possibility for our family. I started to talk to Ross about it and at first he was not very open to it. I think the cost, paperwork, and stress were too much for him to consider it. After all, we were already going through some other things in our life that were pretty stressful and busy. After many hours of praying, researching, crying, and talking we have decided to pursue an adoption as a way to expand our family. We will be pursuing the infant domestic adoption program and already cannot wait to bring home our little bundle of joy!!!
As you follow our blog, please remember to not only keep our family in your prayers but to keep the Mothers that are out there making that selfless decision to give their baby up for adoption also in your prayers. They are all making the hardest decision of their lives and because of it are fulfilling many wishes for people like us who cannot expand their family biologically. We are ready to take a huge leap of Faith!!!
