So we have been getting the question a lot lately " when are you going to have baby # 2?" and what I really want to tell them is " Well I have been thinking about #2 since Faith was born!" LOL But I don't because really the perfect plan ( although I can just say right now nothing is ever perfect!) was to start the process around the time Faith turned 1 anticpating a longer wait for baby #2.
But as mentioned earlier life isn't always perfect and things happened, plans changed and here we are Faith having just turned 20 months old and we are just starting to start the process towards baby #2!
Here's the plan
( or the plan for today at least )
We plan to use A.dopt He.lp again for our adoption. That being said since our profile can not be shown until it is done ( DUH!) we will spend the next couple months working on our profile and doing some networking with family, friends, lawyers, etc.
As soon as I get back to Texas we will begin the homestudy process so that if any situation arises we will be ready to accept a baby into our home!
Come Faith's second birthday if we are no closer to a baby than we are today than we will sign with AH again and be homestudy ready and will anxiously be awaiting our second miracle with the help of A.dopt He.lp!
I'm super excited and super ready! Things will be so different this next time around! Not only the fact that we have a toddler this time, which will add an element of surprise to everything LOL but we will be in Texas on our own with not one baby but two! I often wonder if I can truly handle two and I have to laugh and say no sometimes! But really I know I can, mothering isn't always fun and its not always easy but it is who the Lord created me to be! And I know by the grace of God and the help of my husband we are ready for Faith to have a brother or sister!
So please join us and pray for our second child! That he or she is out there right now being formed together perfectly. Pray for his/her birth mother that she may find us in God's timing and be at peace with her decision to place. Please pray for a smooth and easy process for all and above everything please pray for the Lord's will as we continue to grow our family!

Can't wai to see what the lord brings your amazing family. Praying with you!!!! :-) J
We have three...with no help. You can do it. Going from one to two was way more difficult! It's hard being away from family. To be honest...with our three--we don't have much time for a social life anywayw! ha! AND don't be so sure about the wait. I know you got Faith really fast...but we went in the book for our third baby thinking who is going to pick us we already have two and six weeks later our baby girl was home.
How exciting!! Hope things go smoothly for the adoption of baby #2!

I'll keep you guys in my prayers!
