Seminar and New Babies
Ryan and I went to a seminar today about adoption. We got so much out of it and are really glad that we went. We have been in a little bit of a rut with all of the paperwork we have had to fill out and the fundraising we need to do. Going to this seminar really put us back on track.
Our 4 year old knew that we were going to a seminar about adoption and he had it in his mind that we were brining our baby girl home today. He was so worried about all of us. So on the way home we decided to stop at Toys R Us and get the kids both a baby that will look like our baby girl. That way they would have something to talk about and relate everything to. Can I just say that the selection of babies that we were looking for was very slim!! It was pretty frustrating because I began to think about when our little girl is 3 or 4 and wants a baby that looks like her...it just made me sad. I have never thought about it before.
Both of the kids were in love with their new babies. I told them that is what our baby girl will look like and neither one of them mentioned anything about her skin color...kids are so accepting! Big brother took right to taking care of his new baby...he said he is practicing for when his sister comes home to us. So sweet! Here are a few pictures...
He's not choking her...he is just loving on her...really tight! :)
She is so proud of her new baby!
Watching t.v. together. The funny thing is he never plays with his sister's baby dolls but he is so in love with this one and taking care of her. He is such a good big brother!
She is gonig to make such a good big sister too!

Overwhelmed
I knew there would be a ton of paperwork that we had to fill out for the adoption...I just didn't realize how overwhelming it would all be. There is SO much. Things have been crazy at work so I haven't been able to get as much done as I would have liked at this point. But things have slowed down and work and we are ready to jump in and get things moving again. Just thinking about our sweet girl is motivating. It is also comforting to know that we are on God's time and He is never late!! I will post a timeline soon so it is easier to follow everything that we are working on.
