Oh Yes We are!

Alright, it is time to just spit it out!
Yes, we have decided to adopt again!
We are very excited to have started the process last week to adopt an older child.
We don't know who it will be-- but we are sure God does!
Surely this seems absolutely crazy to some but we wouldn't have it any other way!
Come follow our journey.

As I keep seeing on the news about Haiti, I just keep feeling the tug that maybe Russ and I should be looking in that direction...

I KNEW it! you must have an awesome and very understanding social worker. I know that some families who have many children and are considered large families have difficulty getting a social worker on board with subsequent adoptions.
I had a feeling your family was not finished :)
Blessings on the journey!

If there's a family to adopt where I know the kids are loved deeply and cared for amazingly, it is YOUR family! Thanks for inviting us along on the ride with you to your new son/daughter. I will add you to my adoption prayer list again!
