New Plans ........

Ok .. Let's be honest !! Infertility sucks and having to spend tons of money and give yourself shots everyday ... dr apointments... scans... blood tests.... and then still getting a - on a pregnancy test sucks even worse cause then you feel like " Why doesn't your body want to work with you ??" So .....

Mike & I have decided we are going to adopt. Actually we are going to do foster adoption . We are sooo blessed and all we want is to add to our family so since my body isn't working with me we are taking a new course to add to our family. We signed up with an agency in Conroe called Homes4Good ( www.homes4good.org) and we have started taking all the classes and are in the process of getting ALL the paperwork together. We should be done with the classes by May or possibly June at the latest then we will have a homestudy done and then the waiting game begins. We are doing foster/ foster to adopt which means we will foster any child but if the right child comes along that is free to adopt and we fit as a family we will have the 1st chance to adopt the child.

I am what your thinking ... your never gonna be able to give up a child cause you will fall in love with them . Yes.... your most likely right about us falling in love but think about it this way .... We can love a child for 6 months and maybe those 6 months made a diffrence in his/her life where they felt our love and was touched by our family compared to not ever been placed in our home and not knowing what love felt like. We know it is going to be hard but somethings are worth go even if your heart gets broken !!! Our triplets taught us that !!!

So ...... please pray for us as we go on this journey because it is going to be one hell of a roller coaster ride but a fun one !!!
