As you all know, we suffer from secondary infertility. We've gone as far as ivf and fet's to no avail. We've decided to grow our family in another way. We've always known we would do foster care and adoption, even before we knew of our fertility issues. Didn't exactly know when but God has shown us that the time is now.
We were officially licensed for adoption through foster care as of Jan 12,2011. We'd like sibling set of up to three kids in the newborn-4 year age range. Well, we got a call that very day about what sounded like a great match. Three boys - 12 days old, 18 months and a newly three year old. Sure, it would have been big ole houseful but we're ready for tha challenge! Anyway, the next day they let us know that they found placement closer to their original home(in Lincoln about 40+) miles away from us. Bummer.
We got another call yesterday afternoon for 3 boys - a 4 year old and 3 year old twins. Darren and I decide that they might be a little hard for Ayla to adjust to. Three wild boys all about her size would most likely intimidate her. So we passed on those sweet little guys.
We're hoping for another call soon. You know the phrase "Hurry up and wait!"
We've been doing lots of praying about this and we're certain that the right children will find us. We ask for your prayers that we are able to make good decisions for our family and follow God's will. I know He will show us the way...

They will come! I'll be praying. I'm surprised they wanted to place them close to home. I met a lady whose friend moved from Washington to Texas just to get their foster/adopted children away from their birth family. I wouldn't want to bump into the mom either. I hope the boys were well placed and will grow up happy and healthy. However your kids are coming! And I'm hoping there's a girl in the group. Alya could use a little sister. =)
Jennifer - They kids are still having visits with their birthmom, parental rights have not yet been terminated. Once they have, it wouldn't matter, we wouldn't need to be close :)
I LOVE you so much and I wish nothing but the most awesome outcome to this! I love you and your family and I am praying for you all:)
