[Gulp] Adoption Update

In the past month, Josh and I have been presented with two separate adoption situations.  Both times, we got a call about a baby just born and we had to decide if we were interested in becoming her forever parents?

KATIE!!!! Praise God! WOW! This is amazing and happening fast!! Isn't it so comforting to know He knew before time began what sweet babe will be calling you Mommy and Daddy? Praying for yall as you walk through this!! I am so excited - wish we were still in Greensboro to give you a hug! ha ha!

My advice on parenting - just relax, I often don't :), but have found when I do things go much more smoothly :) Nothing has brought me more to my knees, relying on Him, than being a Mom. Exactly where he wants us to be, right?? :)

I remember bringing Lauren home and not knowing what to do with her and being so afraid to pick her up so she sat in the carseat for most of the day...Anyways, what I've learned most is you're never really prepared for anything, you just muddle your way through it and learn as you go! :) It's an amazing experience. I'm so excited and happy for you both!
