So Long.....Update

It has been so long, but we are still here.

Things went so crazy in my house last year. My son, Tobey entered the hospital in March for a pressure sore on his hip. 30 DAYS and 2 SURGERIES later, he was finally discharged! Things have been crazy! We are STILL battling the wound and STILL have a sand/air bed in our living room on which he sleeps....

Needless to say, this paused our adoption plans. :( N was adopted by another family which is bittersweet for me. While I am thrilled that he is no longer an orphan, my heart is broken that he was not placed with my family. :(

However, as much as I try to NOT think about adoption, it is something that still weighs heavily on my heart.

So, I have decided that we WILL still adopt. I have set a goal for us. We will commit to a child by Feb of 2013. That allows us some time to fundraise $$. Unfortunately, we lost the $$ that we gave the agency as a deposit for N, but I will not allow that to deter me. There MUST be a reason the Lord will not let this to leave my heart and I WILL follow it.

We will, more than likely, choose to rescue a child through Reece's Rainbow as that is an agency that is near and dear to my heart. I am not looking to save a baby as plenty of people want them. I will be looking at a 2-3 year-old. More than likely, a boy.

So, stay tuned as more details unfold and fundraisers start up. We could use all of the love, prayers, and support that you have!
