Glad I'm here . . .

I've been reading more blogs and I'm so glad I'm doing this. For some reason I was drawn to be here and I'm so glad. I feel God has brought me here for a reason. For some reason this is part of my plan. I am so intrigued with everything I'm reading. This is a whole new world for me and I can't get enough.

Finally got the nerve...

I started this blog site back in September, but today I have actually gotten the nerve to post something. I wanted to start this blog to write what Adam and I are going thru as we have been waiting to be picked by a birthmom. I never had the nerve afraid to put my feelings out there. Wondering what people would think (Yes a bad habit). But these past couple of days I've been following a couple of blogs about families and adoption. It has sparked something in me to start writing. So here I am. We were approved as a 'waiting family' October 30, 2008. So this past year has been a bit of a roller coaster of emotions. I thought for sure we would've been picked by now. Our agency doesn't tell us everytime they show our books, but we do know definately of 3 different times -- where we were not chosen. They may have shown it more, but we know of 3 for sure. Not getting picked those 3 times were hard, but as I've read, we react the same way as others. You are upset for a couple of days, but then you move on. It can be hard, but prayer is an amazing thing.

I have so much to say, I would have to write a novel to say everything. I guess I shouldn't focus on the past, but I should look toward the future. This is a start...... I have been drawn to these families who have adopted and reading their stories ----- this can only be a positive thing.
