So, sometimes I feel like my mind is totally obsessed with the idea of adoption. I recently found out that a young girl at school is pregnant. She is wanting to put her baby up for a closed adoption. I know it's early and the odds of it being a girl are 50/50. But I'm finding myself watching her in the halls hoping that this will be our baby! It's crazy because, deep down I'm thinking that God is still wanting us to adopt from outside our country. But then there's the hint of an option locally and ofcourse it will cost less with less wait....and I'm obsessed!
I know that I totally need to be praying about this and listening to God and not my head. So, that's what I will be doing! I will stop obsessing and just know that God already planned our adoption and he knows exactly where our little girl will come from! It's in HIS hands and I can't make any changes!

Once again, baby sister was in the conversation tonight! Amber and I were making cupcakes for Kim's shower and Tony said we could do that again in 4 years when she got here! What ever! I am totally praying that it won't take that long to add to our family!
In 4 years, I will be 38! Seriously? I can't believe it's that close! I don't want to be a new mommy again when I'm that old! I'm thinking she will need to be here in the next 2 to 2 1/2 years! I'm always thinking about her and I don't think I can wait that long!
I'm trying not to rush it in my head though...the sooner she gets here...the older Brady and kaden will be and we just can't have them growing up fast!

I'm sitting here listening to Brady and Kaden play in the living room and doing a little research on adoption on the internet. I have been thinking a lot about what it will be like to add another person to our family!
It's funny because Tony has really got me thinking about it! He said he likes the name Shelby. I think I blogged that last time. Anyway, I have been thinking of names that would go well with Shelby. I've really wanted to use the name Alexa because that's my aunt's name. So, maybe we will consider Shelby Alexa. Brady really likes the name Camilla. I like MacKenna. I think MacKenna Faith is pretty. Idon't know. God usually sends us a name when he's ready so I think I will go with that!

This morning Tony totally surprised me. He walked into the bathroom while I was getting ready and said, "How do you like the name Shelby?" I've never thought of that name. However, I'm so excited that he's thinking of our little girl! I think about her all the time.
I wonder what she will look like....what kind of personality she will have. I wonder if she'll be a mommy's girl or will she be all about her daddy? I wonder what her voice will sound like and what he favorite food will be. I wonder if she will be closer to Brady or will she and Kaden be best buds.
There are so many things to think about when it comes to adding to you family. I know God has already chosen our baby sister. I know that she hasn't even been born. I know that God wants us to reach out and take in a little girl and give her a home with two parents who love Jesus and two brothers who will love her with all their heart!
So, is our baby sister a Shelby? I like it but we will just have to see!

I'm starting this site to post my feelings and thoughts as we begin praying for God to add to our family! I've said for years and years that my dream is to adopt a baby girl! I'm so excited because Tony is totally on board. He has been praying on his own and also doing some research on adoption.
He told me the other night that he was looking online and that Korea is probably where we will need to adopt from. I'm pretty much open to anything but I would just totally love to have an Asian baby! They are so stinking cute and I just love their cheeks and black hair!
I was really shocked that he is so on board! I mean, I know he wants what I want but the fact that he researching on his own time is making me to in love with him!
If you have stumbled across my blog, please be in prayer for our family! We have a goal of starting the paper work in January 2010. If God leads us to start sooner I won't argue!
