It is funny how things can just hit you. One day I was at home and said to Jarod, I think I am done with treatments! Just like that I was ready to move on. Well, I did think about it A LOT. I thought about what we should do and I wanted to feel comfortable with my decision. Jarod has always wanted to adopt from the beginning but I wanted to try a few treatments first and then we had talked about adopting our second child. It isn't happening like that and that is okay. We are going to become parents and grow as a family and we can't wait! Yeah, I would LOVE to get pregnant but I have to accept that may never happen. We will love any child that becomes ours whole heartedly no matter what!!
We decided in early May to adopt. And right away I was ready to get started with ALL the paperwork! We were so excited! The paperwork and everything we had to do scared me at first and it was all a little overwhelming. We have completed most of it and I feel more relieved. I am hoping we can have our home study done by early/mid August and be active sometime in August:)
Hoping for a smooth process!

I know it was not an easy decision to make with the adoption process, but I am so excited for the love you will be able to give to a child that might not have otherwise had it! Hoping it is a smooth process! I work in the NICU and there are so many babies that need homes! I hope that God unites you with yours soon!
you're such a strong-hearted girl! sending you love on your journey - excited to follow along!
