Here's the latest

After a totally unsought prompting, much fasting and prayer our family has decided to do foster care with the hope to adopt.  We're almost done with our classes and should have our license in June making us an open home for kids who need us.  Ideally we would love to foster and adopt quickly, but we are open to whatever Heavenly Father would have us do.  Gus is thrilled to have a new brother, and has his already picked out bedding and toys that are dedicated to his new friend.  We are excited and nervous to see what the Lord has in store for us.  Just an FYI, we've been trying to get pregnant for almost 3 years with no success, so we think this is the route we are intended to take at this time.  We do hope to have more biological kids, but we hope we can be a blessing to someone who needs a good home and they can be a blessing to us.

So sorry to hear that you haven't been able to get pregnant as you wanted. I honestly can say I know how it feels! It took us several years to get pregnant with Brandon.

But I'm so thrilled for you guys that you are going to be doing foster care and I hope you do get to adopt. You are awesome people and parents and will be great! Will you adopt me?!? :)

Good luck, you guys will have so much fun, and will be a blessing to some children in need!
You put a smile on my face when I read this post, even though I am sad after trying has been unsuccesful, but now you get to help bless some more children.
