We're adopting

   

Wow I just ripped that off like a bandaid. I have been coming up with catchy (corny) phrases on how I wanted to announce this news, but none of them were right. Now that it's out in the open I will explain how this has all begun and where we are heading.

  It was a really hard decision
 11 hour car ride to Northern California
 Me "remember how we were talking about adoption , well I have been thinking about it a lot lately ..
 Like constantly .! I am having dreams about going to Africa and stealing all the orphans. I have     prayed on it and I think it might be the time ."

Ross  "alright let's do it !"

  Alright, well maybe it wasn't that complicated at all. There is so much I want to share with you about the "why" we made this decision. My home is filled with a lot of love and were all buzzing with this new idea of bringing a new family member into our home .

Truthfully,  Nora was not thrilled right away . She has gone through a lot of change in her life and I think she was ready for life to just stay the same for a bit . I was praying her heart would change
 With the more we talked about this adoption . One night she came out of her bedroom for the thousandth time like she always does.
"Mom I want to adopt now "
   Me - "what  oh hunny that is so great , what made you change your mind ?"
" I really want a little sister and I want to name her ."
Me " wow that's super special Nora that would be so great ,what would you want to name her "
"Annie "
Me " oh WOW! Like little orphan Annie ? "
"Ya I love that movie"

From that point on Nora has been on board (Rushy too) I crushed her dreams and let her know that name is off limits ( I can hear the people talking now - " could she really not come up with a better name ")


There's so much that is still unknown but what we do know is God is in this adoption. He loves orphans and will prepare us for whatever our future babe needs.


Love you all and appreciate all the prayers and guidance in this journey.
