Here's a little update as to where we are in our pursuit of Adoption #2: It has been almost a year that we've been formally back on the list with our attorney. He has had a couple of situations arise but nothing has panned out for us. I am getting our paperwork together to work with an agency as well, and also planning to give our portfolio to another local attorney that a friend has used. She has said that she hasn't had many prospective mothers lately though. We have to get our home study updated, fingerprints done again, etc.! Lots of paperwork!
We trust that God will build our family as he sees fit. I remember talking with Dan the night we became engaged and we had such dreams for a big, rocking family. But it may be just the three of us, or more, or not. The first time we were not chosen by a birth mom, it was really hard for me. But I think I needed to go through that, and I have learned more about myself as a result. It made me sad and made me feel inadequate, but I ultimately realized that it was out of my control and that situation was just not the perfect fit that God has in mind for our family. M was a perfect fit for our family, and God willing, there will be more children who will fit perfectly with us.
In any case, we are all sleeping too well in this house so we need a newborn around to shake things up. =) No matter what happens, I am truly grateful to entrust the building of my family to our Lord, and hopeful, and patient.
