An amazing adventure

As I've spent some time updating the pages of this blog today, it's been fun to go back and read the posts.  It was especially meaningful to read the ones between April and July of 2011.  Each one was such a mixture of joy and uncertainty.  When I go back to that place in my mind, I can remember those feelings so clearly.  Since that time, our lives have been packed with lots of joy and uncertainty as well - the kind that learning how to be a parent can bring!

The ultrasound picture from this post has now grown into an adorable and busy 2-year-old . . . an adorable 2-year-old who now quite frequently says, "I want baby sister!"  We had been considering whether it was time to begin the process of updating our profile and paperwork for a while before his friends at church starting having siblings and I guess that was a good thing!  The truth is, his Mom & Dad are ready for a baby brother or sister too.

I'm looking forward to sharing our journey with you again.  This time I'll also get to tell a few stories about what it's been like for us to be parents to this amazing little boy that we were graciously chosen to love and nurture.  What an awesome experience it has been!

Will you please join us in prayer for:

• guidance in the search for our baby
• patience as we wait for the right timing
• the mother and father who may even now be discovering they are pregnant

We would also be honored if you would share our information, including this page, with anyone who you feel might be able to connect us to birth parents who are looking for a family to raise their child.  The circumstances around our first adoption surely proved that so often it happens because someone knows someone.

Here's to the next chapter in an amazing adventure!

Love and blessings,
Janell
