Better Late then Never

Finally, I have decided to start a blog. Mark and I are nearing the end of our adoption journey - we have accepted our referral for two little boys - Kaleab and Isaac. Kaleab is approximately two years old and Isaac is now about 4 months old. Llast weekend we have been asked numerous times when do you get to go get them - my answer to everyone is I wish I knew. At this point I would say waiting for the referral was much harder then waiting for a court date but give me a couple of weeks and that will more than likely change. But for now I know I have two sons waiting for us to bring them home.

Let me take you back a little ways. Ever since Mark and I began dating we talked about how we would have two children and then adopt a 3 to 4 year old boy, but God had other plans for us. After two miscarriages in 7 months, numerous tests to determine why the miscarriages to a little over a year of infertility treatments we decided that we would adopt first. The question for us was where from - I was leaning toward Haiti and Mark was leaning toward China after much research and prayer we decided to adopt not one but two children from Ethiopia.
