If you've been following our journey to this point, you know that God has closed the door for another biological child at this time. We DEFINITELY believe in miracles, & if God chooses to surprise us, we're more than excited to accept as many of them as He chooses to give us!
We've begun the process of adoption. We've received a referral for an adoption attorney that some friends of ours used & were very pleased with. Now we wait to hear back from him to set up an initial meeting to talk about the process & what his role in it would be. We've asked him for a referral on who to get a home study done thru. We may need this done quickly as we have a lead on a possible baby already!
Many of our family & friends have shared our situation with their church family, friends, & prayer groups. One of our family members was approached by a fellow church member that knows of a pregnant woman that is giving her baby up in an open adoption. We are not as familiar with the open adoption option, but have begun doing our research & contacting family members & friends that have chosen open adoptions. In the few e-mail conversations & Facebook messages I've had with some of these people so far, I have already been blessed just by building relationships with our fellow club members, the 'adoptive parents club'. Many of these people are able to relate to our infertility journey & have been willing to share their story with me...another source of blessing.
Our current lead: I was given a contact # to speak with somebody re: the situation mentioned above. After talking with her, I am cautiously optimistic of the possibility of this being our future child. As hard as it is, I really am TRYING not to get too excited at this point as we are just starting out & this process CAN take YEARS before our child comes along. Please, please, please keep our entire family in your prayers as we wait as patiently as possible for GOD'S WILL to be revealed to us in His timing.
