so excited!
after long talks and thinking we decided that we are going to start the process of adoption. I always wanted to adopt a child and when I met my DH I told him right away that I wanted at least adopt 1 child. Before we found out that I was pregnant of Matthew we decided to start the process, but after we found out that I was already pregnant of our second baby we postponed that. Now we are financially and mentally ready for a new baby we decided to give it a go. I'm so excited!!!

To experience the love of a child is one thing, but its another when you open your heart to another! I wish you well on the process of adoption, and hope you a heartwarming journey. What a beautiful thing to do, I'm so glad that it is something you always wanted to do, but are actually going threw with it!
I hope everyone in your family if filled with joy and bursting hearts when the moment comes that you find "the one"!

AHHHH! I am so excited for you and your family! What an exciting journey you are about to embark on! My DH and I decided before we got married that we would START our family with adoption and it has absolutely been the most wonderful experience of our lives...I can't wait to hear more about your journey! If you have any questions, please don't hesitate to PM me! We did an international adoption to Ethiopia...again, SO excited for you!

Congratulations, Danielle! It is a bit of a roller coaster ride, but well worth it in the end!
 My daughter and one of my sons are from China and Ethiopia, respectively, and it was an AWESOME experience. Blessings as you pursue this great calling.

Congratulations Danielle! Adoption has always been a big part of my family. I have both adopted and biological children, and I grew up in a household with both adopted and biological children. I hope that you'll share news of your journey with all of us.

Ohhhh you girls are the best!! Thank you SO much for being so excited for me and my family and thinking of us, that's so great! We decided to do international adopting. China and tailand are both high on the list. I do have to say that any other country would work for us since our priority is to help and love a child in need. Race or gender don't matter at all. We've been browsing a lot on the internet searching for all the information we can use. We are searching for some bureaus close by who can help us.. The next weeks will be busy visiting these. I actually made my first page about this exciting new, I will upload that one tonight in the gallery. Its so exciting, fun, scary, overwhelming at the sama time, but most of all we are so happy with our dessicion and the thought of helping and loving our new child hopefully very soon. Again, thank you so much for all these sweet comments, they make me smile and warm my heart. You girls are the best!!
Ashley, so sweet for letting me know I can contact you with questions, I will definitely do that!! Big hug for all of you!
