It has been so long since we've updated everyone. Part of the reason we haven't been posting is because there really hasn't been any new news.
Since the beginning of June, we've been officially in the "waiting pool" of adoptive parents. This basically means we are waiting for a birth mother or birth parents to pick us. From everyone we've talked with, they all say the waiting period is the hardest; feeling like you're in limbo because you never know when your going to get "the call". Though we've been keeping busy, the longer we wait the harder it gets.
We continue to pray for patients, for the birth parents, for the future baby veil, and that we'd get matched with birth parents soon! We'd love if you'd keep us in your prayers during this difficult and unknown time.
ALSO, we hope everyone knows that if someone you know is thinking that terminating a pregnancy is their only solution, we would welcome the opportunity to be introduced to them. We would love to talk with them not just about us as an adoptive family but their options in general and that termination isn't the only way. We have realized through the adoption process that many people in uncertain pregnancy's feel like abortion is the only way. We know all children, even in the womb, are God's precious gift and it saddens us to hear when people think abortion is the only solution.
