Remember this story

I just wanted to update this story..HERE We had been contacted this last June about a young girl that chose us as an adoptive family for her baby. She told us at the end of October that she really wanted to parent so as I kept saying goodbye to her she kept telling me that she had not made her full decision and that she really had felt strongly about us as her family, very strongly. I just wanted to update that she had her baby on the 30th and brought her home yesterday.
Typically when that happens it seems in most cases the relationship dissolves, but she still contacts us  but I find it hard to be in contact.... is that bad? is it wrong?? I care for her deeply I just feel inside out with her contact.

 Dan and I are okay to not have a baby for now in fact we are not pursing adoption right now.  We both would really like to pursue it when Dawson goes into the first grade. We've done a lot of moves and we are finally getting settled into a new home, our 13th move in 8 and a half years. (crazy circumstances..its been rough!!)

 We have been on this second adoption journey since spring of 2009. I am so grateful to have Dawson, he is the sunshine to my soul. I just feel like I want to move from the pursuit of adoption right now and focus on my present family. I would love it if someone called and said hey... I am looking to place I would love to adopt... I just don't feel like being in the pursuit for now! 

I saw my friend's baby yesterday and in the past I would have turned inside out and I just did not feel that way.  I want the baby that is meant for our family, not yours not hers not theirs, but ours. Our baby and I feel okay to wait.

 Our next little one will come when it is the right time and for now I just don't feel like pursuing it at all. I feel like we will know when the time is right to either pursue it again or... maybe and I really hope that through word of mouth we will find our right baby whether it is today or in two years. 

Right now I relish this:



And loving this
