We are Diving Back In....
for Adoption #2!!! Today we had our first meeting to update our Homestudy. We also have begun our additional training that our state requires to adopt children over age 4. This time we will be requesting 2-3 kids ages 0-8, we think! We are trying to be much more open this time around, and we are open to special needs this time too. A special needs adoption can mean many things: clef palate, HIV+, handicap of some sort, heart murmur, etc. We are just waiting to see who God has in store for our family! It's so exciting to think that our children are already born and just waiting for a mommy and daddy and brother Jacob! Please join us in praying for our kids wherever they are right now. We pray that they are feeling loved and taken care of until we can take care of them ourselves. At this point we are going to adopt from Ethiopia again. There are many delays going on in Ethiopia adoptions right now and the wait for an infant is LONG. But while we were in Ethiopia there were many kids ages 3-8 that totally stole our hearts, we are hoping there are some kids in that age range that God will place in our family! Jacob totally loves older kids, so he is going to love having bigger brothers and sisters! I can't wait to see how our family ends up- it's going to be better than I ever imagined or dreamed!! Go God!

Is the wait as long / difficult for an older child, or are they able to speed it through? Good for you guys!! You really are good role models and I can only imagine how great of parents you are!!
