One step closer to having a child...

After years of struggling to have children, we have decided to proceed with adoption through LDS Family Services. The paperwork is GRUELING and is finally in. We have an all day class at the end of the month and several more meetings/home visits before it's "official" and our profile is up for birth parents to view, but we are almost there. Heavenly Father has been leading our steps and actions. It took a "lightning bolt" in the form of a patient at work who didn't want to keep her baby (the third in as many months) to convince me that this was the right time to move forward (Aaron was ready months ago!). Unfortunately, it's not going to work out with her, but she was an answer to our prayers and helped us find the direction we needed to be moving in.

At this time, we want to ask for your prayers in our behalf, that we will be able to continue in the faith and be blessed with a child. Also, please pray for all those birth parents out there struggling to make the decision to place their child for adoption.
