As most of you remember...Richard and I were in the middle of our adoption process when we VERY unexpectedly found out that i was pregnant! That was definitely something i never thought i had to worry about happening!! Ha! We found almost almost a year ago exactly. And we now have a 5 month old son, Jonah. :)
I don't have much to update but people keep asking if we still plan on going through with the adoption. The answer is absolutely yes! We told you before... that adoption is a desire that ony God could put in our hearts, and we are still in love with adoption!
I had somebody that i dont really even know...and they dont know me...accuse us of faking the adoption just for the money and then us get pregnant on purpose. The ONLY reason i bring that up is because if there is anybody out there who even for a SECOND had that thought....it would KILL me to know that!! I pray that those of you who know us will know our hearts are longing to grow our family through adoption. So that being said I just wanted to answer some "unknowns".
We are still going to adopt! All that money that God blessed us with through YOU ALL is still in the posession of our adoption agency and we are still put on hold. I called our agency yesterday to find out if they had a required time limit of being on hold and if we would be required to start the adoption process back up again now. They told me that Jonah needed to be at least a year old before we start again. They also said if we werent ready by that point then we had until June 2017 before we were required to start it up again. I was actually relieved by that because we are loving every minute with Jonah and he is already changing so fast so we want to be able to just embrace this moment of our lives as long as we can. Does that mean we will wait the full 2 years to start adopting again? I highly doubt it. I believe we will want to start sooner than that....because we are still so excited for this to happen!
We will Absolutely be letting you know when we start this adoption up again because all your prayers will be needed. We love you all. And thank you for loving us and our family. Its a feeling that cant be described knowing you all are loving and supporting us.
We, Oma and Opa, are loving experiencing every moment with Jonah that we can. That being said, we are in love with the idea that God will bless him with a brother or sister through adoption in the near future. We love you all so very much!!
ReplyDeleteSo sad you had to hear an accusation like that. We know you guys have a pure heart in this matter. We will help in any way to help you receive your next little blessing. Love you guys!
ReplyDeleteWords cut very deep... I know from experience as does each person reading this, no doubt. God will be the one to tell you when HIS timing is right.... Our family has embraced adoption and will do so when He brings you the child you are going to adopt. Isn't it cool that he already knows who and when..... can't beat that.
ReplyDeleteI know there's no forgiveness by you for me in this life. However, I love and miss you guys and am proud of you. My grandson is so wonderful. I'm glad your still going to adopt. You'll provide a wonderful home.I'd like to talk. guynuzum@yahoo.com
