so once we decided to move forward, there were lots of questions.
international or domestic?
infant or older?
boy or girl?
special needs?
what agency to use?
and that list got longer the more we looked into things. alot longer.
our first decision was very simple. the conversation went like this. i said to jon, "domestic or international?" he said, "international." i agreed. then, i asked, "what continent?" asia was the logical choice for us as we both have been there and love it so. in about five minutes, we were moving forward to adopt from somewhere in asia.
now, i know that this sounds VERY unspiritual. and i'm going to be honest, it felt very unspiritual. there have been things that we have had to wrestle through on this journey, but i had to come to a place where i realized that i didn't have to wrestle through everything. every part of the journey didn't have to be agonizing. we were trusting that the Lord was leading and directing us--in fact giving our hearts the very desires themselves.
next step. agency.
