Are we really doing this?

Welcome to our blog!

I keep asking myself "Are we really doing this?" "Is this the real time?" "Is it right?" and so many others. However, the answer this time, unlike other times, seems to be coming back "yes". We are so blessed to have the most wonderful son already that we weren't sure we even needed to expand our family; however something kept pulling at our hearts. Although I gave birth to our son, other pregnancies didn't follow- not because I couldn't, but it just didn't happen. So as life progressed on, we simply concentrated on raising the most amazing child. But we felt the pull, the gentle tug at our hearts to again become parents.

We have been on the adoption journey in a way for a few years now. Adoption has always been something we were interested in but for different reasons we just had not pursued it vigorously. We have investigated various strategies- should we try domestic or international, single child vs siblings, etc- and have generally waited to be shown the way by God. The light however may have finally been turned on as we may make a decision to adopt from Poland in the next couple of days.

So, the adventure of a lifetime appears to be starting but as Confucius said "The journey of 1000 miles begins with a single step". I guess that applies to those of over 5000 miles too. Wish us luck and thank you for joining us on our journey!
