It has happened. We have had our first discussions about adoption. And not in a "what-if", or "some day" kind of way. We have honestly discussed this very real option to having a family of our own.
Granted it was rather difficult for me the first time but the more I think about it the more I realize that I would be selfish to discard adoption as an option and continue to poor money into attempting to conceive children of my own flesh. Adopting a child should not make it any less my own. Rather I should feel and know how blessed we will be when that day does come that we can attempt to make a difference in a young child's life.
I don't think we're going to try and join the thousands of others vying for the first newborn to pop out in their general direction. But the child will still be young. Most likely 3 years old or younger.
The more I think about this possibility, the more I grow warmer to it. I know that I want to be a mother more than anything. It will just be coming about in a manner I never imagined needing to consider. The Lord's will be done, whether or not I understand in this life time His choosing.

i know that no matter where your child comes from (your womb or from adoption), there will not be another child more blessed or loved than the new little baker :0)
LOVE YOU!!
Keep seeking God... Adoption is such a wonderful opportunity for you to become someone's family who desperately needs one.
