Adoption Announcement

And then there were three...

Well, we have decided to try one more time.  We hope to add one more child to our family.  We understand the wait could be long and we may reach a point we feel we are too old for midnight feedings and fussy babies.  If we make it to that point, we will withdraw our application and continue to enjoy our lives as the parents of our boys. We are not trying for a girl, a baby boy would be just as welcome in our home.  

What makes our wait longer this time?  We already have two boys.  When a birth mother looks for a family for placement more often than not, she will chose a childless couple.  If a child is meant to be ours, it will be.  

We will again be working with Adoption Affiliates, the agency we have used previously. We feel comfortable with Adoption Affiliates and have experienced two successful adoptions with them.  

Our family and a few of our friends are already aware of our decision.  Many were not surprised. We really enjoy being parents.  Being only children, we look forward to a home filled with children and large family gatherings as we grow old.  

So, we are waiting.  We have had our profile shown to a couple of expectant mothers and have not been chosen. Waiting is the hardest part.  Although waiting is somewhat easier the second and third time around.  Our life will roll on as usual and we hope and pray our phone will soon ring with big news.
