Our dream

Our dream for growing our family is still, obviously, a work in progress. This weekend, however, Carl shared with me his desire to someday adopt a little child and hearing this desire made my heart skip a beat as I have always wanted to adopt and Carl wasn't always so sure about it. When we would talk about it he only wanted to adopt a baby and was less willing to consider adopting an older child that would undoubtably have issues from years of experiencing a world that didn't want him or her. Now though he says that he would love to adopt an older child around 5yrs or 6yrs old. It just blesses my heart how God can unite two seperate hearts. And maybe someday God will even lead him to allow us to adopt a teenager (which I have always wanted to do.)

We still have a ways to go in learning to parent though so we don't think this is something that God would want us to do right now but it's a dream that HE is developing in both of our hearts and we our confident that when he tells us it's the right time we will know.
