I'm so glad you are feeling complete and at peace with your beautiful decsion.
I am so glad you are feeling some peace...I am sure it was a tough decision but I am glad that you and your DH made it there together.
We are also so excited to see your daughter the day you bring her home :-)
That's how I felt, too! There was peace for me, because I KNEW I was on my way to my baby. Even if it took awhile, there would be a baby at the end. I knew my baby could have already been forming in some woman's womb and I prayed fervently for her and whatever circumstances she was in. I was excited and actually after our profile began being shown, I went and registered at Babies R US and Target. I felt kind of silly registering with no pregnancy and no match, but within 2 weeks were matched and less than two more weeks all of my friends had thrown us a shower. They were as excited as we were and wanted us to be prepared with all things baby. Too bad we thought we were having a boy (Levi) and we got so many things with his name on them. We didn't find out Ellie was a girl until we were on the plane to get her and the birthmother called right after delivery and said "he" was a "she!" We had to buy girl things when we got there, and by the time we got home our wonderful friends had brought us more girl clothes than she could ever wear. If you haven't seen it, look at my December posts and find the video "Journey to Eliana" and you'll see. It was a great experience!
I'm glad you are able to be at peace with your adoption decision. You will have a baby in your arms soon!!
What a fabulous post and wonderful way to remember how you are feeling at this time. Congrats on your decision and good luck!
This is a beautiful post!!!
Im so glad that the Lord has lead you to adoption and you have found that peace you needed!
Thats so amazing. I am so happy for you guys!!
I am so glad that you have found your path! That is wonderful. I still feel a little lost on mine - but I know that we will ALL get there in time.

Hi! I just found your blog. Congrats on your adoption decision!! How wonderful that God has opened this door and given you peace. After 1 failed IVF, we are planning an FET next month and if it doesn't work, we are going to stop treatments and pursue adoption instead. I am already researching and getting excited. I'll be eager to follow your journey - and feel free to come by my blog, too (I'm new to this blogging world!)
Peace is a WONDERFUL thing, isn't it? I felt exactly the same way when I finally listened to what God was saying and put aside my wants and desires. Now I have ALL that I could ever want!
What a wonderful post! I'm so excited for you!
what a great post but um . . . what if it is a boy that you adopt??? :)
You never know what God has planned :)
