Obviously, we feel called to adopt and have for some time, even before we lost the girls. If you're even kind of considering it, I recommend reading "Adopted for Life" by Russell Moore. It really expresses what adoption truly is. <br /><br />BTW, I'm glad we can stay updated on each other's lives, even if it's only electronically. :)Nicolehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06323295304856035778noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-571132276325677578.post-61122892059148025852012-12-11T09:48:12.801-06:002012-12-11T09:48:12.801-06:00I love that you guys are using Bethany! My parents...I love that you guys are using Bethany! My parents struggled with infertility for 7 years before my mom got pregnant with me. Towards the end of that time, they started the process of adopting through Bethany. My mom still talks very highly of their agency. They made it to #1 and on the day they got that call (saying the next child would be matched with them), my mom's doctor called and told her she was pregnant. Bethany was so nice and "bumped them down" but kept them on the waiting list "just in case." Well, obviously, my mom had me and then, unfortunately, my dad turned down Bethany a few months after that because he said he would be biased. I am glad my dad was honest because that is not a good environment for an adopted child. However, I still have days where I wish I had a brother or sister. All that to say, I LOVE adoption and am not sure if we will ever do it ourselves or just support our friends who are doing it, but if we ever do, I will definitely seek out Bethany. Good luck, be patient, and know that I will be praying for you guys!!!Stephanie (Howell)http://travisandstephanie.wordpress.comnoreply@blogger.com
