We are getting closer on the list to get into the LSS profile book! The profile book is a scrapbook that we put together showing prospective mom's who we are! We officially got on the list when we completed our home study last November...we were 21 on the list. It was kinda disappointing to us that we were so far down the list...with no idea when we would be getting in the book! After talking to some friends that are going through this with us, we have found out we are now 11 on the list!!! We are movin' on up!! We still have some time to wait...so we are praying that our cards and this blog are doing what we need them to do...reaching anyone that may know someone who is considering adoption for their child! Thank you to all of you that have been helping us spread the word! We have heard many stories of potential matches and believe that one of these times it will work out!!
Keep those prayers coming!!

Busy in life!
As usual, time has gotten away from us and we haven't had much of a chance to update all of you! My mom has had a big surgery recently, but is home and recovering well! We appreciate all of your prayers concerning my mom's health! Praise God that all has gone well for her!
On the adoption front, not too much has changed. We have heard of a few stories from different people that have given out our cards...but nothing has materialized yet! It is all in God's timing, and we are ok with that! One story that we heard recently is about 2 different infants that are in foster care. We have been in contact with social services and are hoping that we can open up another door! However, there are risks that come with that avenue...usually mom/dad still have their parental rights. They have hoops to jump through to get their children back before their rights are legally taken away. So, our worst nightmare is taking in and loving a child; only to have mom/dad take that baby back. I think it is a gift that some have when they take child into their homes and their lives through foster care! God surely blesses them! However, for us, that is a heartache that adds to previous heartaches. We are trying to find that balance of putting ourselves out there, but the guard that we have up steers us away from certain avenues.
Please keep spreading the word, and let us know if you need more cards! We also love hearing stories from you regarding our cards and who you have handed them too! Thank you so much for all of your support...one day we will have exciting news to share with you all!

It's a boy!!!
My brother, Josh, and his wife, Inga, are expecting their first baby....and we just found out it's a BOY!! Yay!! My friends made a special 'baby reveal' cake where the only people to know what they are having is the cake makers...they made a blue cake and frosted it so you could not tell what they were expecting until you cut into it!! It is one way to still keep the excitement of a surprise in finding out what you are having without waiting until baby is born...and we all got to find out together! Plus, you then get to celebrate with cake...double bonus!! :) Congratulations Josh and Inga!!
On the adoption front, there has been a little activity with the cards going out to a few people...we are praying and keeping our fingers crossed that one day we will get a phone call! There is a couple in our LSS group that have made a connection and after meeting, have decided it was right for everyone involved...a good match through outreach! I am hopeful that will be us one day!! We will keep you all posted! Prayers for my brother and Inga on a healthy pregnancy too!! :)
