I have an announcement.....

We are expecting a baby!!

After several years of thinking and praying about adoption, we are getting our home study done!! We feel like a little one is come soon.

To answer some questions:

Our home study will be done around the end of June. (We are waiting for a document from the State of Oregon, and then we are good to go.)

After the home study is done we will send it out to several agencies and a few lawyers, in faith that we will find our baby.

We are open to any ethnicity. But I think she will be a shade of brown.

Yes, she. We will specify that we want a girl to the agencies/lawyers.

Why specify a gender? Because we can. It may change but being raised with 5 sisters, I want Amelia to have a sister.

Selfish? Well, I'm pretty sure that if we're supposed to adopt a boy the Lord will tell us between now and a placement, so we get the right baby to our family. (The home study will not state a specific gender.)

On the home study we will be open to a sibling group of two, up to the age of 4. We will also be open to some special needs.

So there you have it. We are excited for this new adventure! Please feel free to ask more questions in the comments section if you have them, and I'll answer them as they come.
