WOW...
The emotions that have overtaken me..... words cannot express.
Jason and I have been holding off on a commitment to the country we would be adopting from because of the logistics that complicate matters of adoption when not living stateside. We have learned in the last two days that even though there will be some extra "doable" steps to our process, we can indeed adopt from the country our heart has been drawn to the most....UGANDA! We are also 95% sure of what agency we will choose as well.
Being able to admit that out loud and KNOW that it can indeed happen, brings tears to my eyes and flutters to my heart.
I am so excited for this journey. I am looking forward to the changes as the Lord breaks our hearts for His people. The refiner's fire that will come from this journey is a very welcomed one by my soul.
The family discussions we have been having about our journey have been wonderful and at some times funny! I must share with you what sweet little Adah told Jadon on the way home from church last Sunday when speaking to one another about sharing their toys with their new "siblings to be". Adah matter-of-factly told Jadon that he would not need to worry about sharing his toys as we were NOT buying him any brothers!!! I thought Jason was going to wreck the car from his belly filled laughter created by Adah's comment and all I could do was sit there in shock! OH, my Adah!!! Her little mind cannot get wrapped around that concept nor the fact that she herself loves to be all up in Jadon's business and playing with his toys. It really will not matter how many or what gender we adopt, Jadon will be the most awesome big brother and I am sure the apple of his siblinge eyes! And Adah will be the little mama for sure with her nurturing and affectionate ways.
Our journey to Uganda will take us on a 3-5 week stay there at the end of the process. WE look forward to all of us going and being able to minister through missions in some way during that stay. Please be praying for us. Pray for the little ones God already has set aside for us to be a family to.
