On my heart.....

A few weeks ago we went to speak at an adoptive parenting class Zach and I took last spring.  It's a wonderful class and we were so excited to share our story.   Time totally got away from us, and we didn't get to share everything that we wanted, but it was an awesome experience and I was so excited to see so many couples excited about adoption.  It truly has been an amazing experience for us.  Don't get me wrong, it was by no means easy, but our faith has been tested and grown tremendously over the past year and a half.  When we spoke a member of the class asked us if we would do this all again, knowing what we know now.  Zach and I both said yes.  We knew there were risks, we felt as prepared as possible when we decided to adopt, and we feel like our agency did their very best to make our first adoption plan a success.  In the end it didn't work out and that is no one's fault.  I don't blame the agency and I don't even blame S. 
I think our story may have scared some people and that wasn't at all our intention.  We just wanted people to know the risks and God forbid if what happened to us happens to them, they can think back to us our story, draw strength, and know that they too will survive. I've said it before and I'll say it again....God's timing is perfect.   If He has laid adoption on your heart, He will not let you down. 

We continue to enjoy parenthood.  Caleb is starting to laugh and it is absolutely adorable.  He just melts my heart.  We are so very grateful for K and her decision, she has changed our lives forever!!

Until next time.....
Much love!
