Our first attempt at blogging

Forgive me if this is bland to start with. We rarely even look at blogs much less thought of writing one ourselves. But we figure this is the best way to get information out about our adoption process. We will be married for 9 years in June of this year and have suffered through infertility issues for 6 years. We finally came to the conclusion last year that we would have to adopt in order to have children. So the journey began in January.

We visited with 2 different adoption agencies and decided to move forward with Generations Adoption out of Waco, TX. They truly made us feel at home and are a christian organization, which is very important to us. They are a smaller agency as they have only been around for 5 years. After we had our orientation in February, the next step was to be the application and an 8 hour training class that was scheduled for June.

To our surprise, they sent us an email last week informing us that they have several birthmothers of mixed race children that are due in the summer and they do not have enough approved families that are open to adopting mixed race families. So they have asked us if we would be open to an earlier training class so that we can finish the process and be approved and waiting for the summer. It is awesome to see how God is working to bring a child to us on his timeline and not ours. He truly is in control.

This is just the first post of many so I do not want to make it too long, just in case I screw something up and have to start all over. More to come later, I hope to get into a habit of posting once a week.

In Christ,
Jerry
