Well, I guess it's finally time to share the news :)
During our infertility journey we started looking into adoption. We tucked it away in the back of our minds for awhile, (or so we thought) and agreed that we would pray about it for one year before we moved forward with it.
At the one year mark, we put forth a plan of action and by the grace of God, we have been able to obtain all of our goals. Part of that plan involved seeking a medical answer for our infertility.
We spent lots of time and money seeing all types of doctors, including a specialist who diagnosed me with stage 4 endometriosis and a thyroid condition. After a certain point, I knew that I did not want anymore hormone injections, blood work or empty sonograms done. I knew that God had a different plan for us. I had a peace. A peace about telling the doctors " no more." I knew We were called to adopt, I knew our baby was somewhere else.
We do believe that our baby is in Ethiopia. We do also believe that if the Lord wants us to
have a biological child one day, we will. Either way, our children will be miracles and we will continue to tell our story.
I am so thankful. Thankful for a God who is sovereign, and for a husband that gets me and has a heart for the Lord.
We are THRILLED. On cloud nine. About to explode with JOY. So, if you would like to follow along through this blog, please do so! We love you all.

Congratulations on your amazing decision! I know all too well the story of endo, infertility docs, and the dreaded "no".
ReplyDeleteGod is calling you to adopt and he's making it so very clear.
How exciting to be starting this journey!
