Something New to Pray About.

As you all know, we have been at this process for A WHILE.

Gavin and I both come from big families and were planning on growing our family quickly.

So when we realized that we could be waiting 18 months we were a little sad.

That means Irelyn will be 3 1/2, possibly 4 by the time we add to our family.

Ill tell you what....this was NEVER our plan.

 

God's plan has completely overpowered ours...and its a good thing.

I KNOW its a good things, even if I don't always FEEL like its a good thing.

So we are praying about something.

 

We are praying about the possibility of a domestic adoption while we wait.

We have been thinking about this for a couple weeks and would love to adopt a baby.

We could be matched with a minority baby in weeks or a few months which would mean the baby would be over a year by the time we went to pick up the kids in Congo.

 

The problem is, another adoption would mean more money.

It is a pretty managable amount but we are totally maxed out at the moment.

We can not do this unless god supernaturally provides the money to do it.

I think we are fine either way.  We would love a baby(who wouldn't) but we know that if that is not God's plan for us, we will be happy with that too.  Only God knows when we should add kids to our family.
We ask that you committ this to prayer with us. 
If we have the money in the next couple of months, we will move forward.
If we do not, we will wait joyfully on God's timing.
