We just started and there are so many things that amaze me.......
We can't find some one to do a homestudy for the country we want.......
People can't seem to grasp why you would ever want to adopt because look just have more of your own. You know "what you are getting".........
That God has chosen us to lead down this path. I always wanted to adopt but never thought I would be searching for a special needs child........
That we are surrounded by people who are willing to help with whatever we need to try and bring a child home......
That one person who met me not long ago would give me money out of her wallet and say add it to your fund your starting......what......really.......little did she know Ben was getting his passport today to start the adoption rolling! God truly sends us those people who can give a little kick and say....keep going, it's hard but here is a little nudge up that hill, you can do it and we will all be cheering behind you........
That fear can creep in so fast and easy at any given moment and when I least expect it.........
Well I can't say enough how through this entire journey I am sure there will be many amazing moments and every one, good or not so good, I hope I can step back and see how it is shaping me and us as a family!
Welcome to the blogging world, Juli!

Coming to say hi from the yahoo group! We cannot start our homestudy until mid April so we are just playing the waiting game for now! Our kids our similar in age, we have a 5 year old, 3 year old, and 13 month old and we get the same questions(with a hint of judgement and disgust) about why we would want to adopt, let alone adopt a special needs child when we are perfectly capable a having our own. Goodluck on your journey!
