The Adventure Begins!

As some of you may already know, Karl and I have desired to add children to our family for quite some time.  During the past couple years we have travelled down a road at times filled with heartache and confusion.  We have spent time exploring and researching fertility treatments and have made the decision to close that door for the time being.  Throughout this whole journey we have continually prayed that God would show us His will for growing our family.  And while we were feeling scared and apprehensive about getting involved in further fertility treatments, God began softening our hearts to the idea of adoption.  At this point neither of us have any known problems to prohibit us from getting pregnant.  We couldn't help but wonder if the reason we haven't gotten pregnant over the past couple years is because God had something else in mind for us...adoption.  After spending much time in prayer, we feel like this is not Plan B for us but that this is what we were always supposed to pursue.  This is our plan A.  God has given us an excitement and peace that we know can only come from Him.  This doesn't mean we will never have biological children but at this point we know there is a miracle out there for us through adoption. 

Our adoption announcement is made with great joy and excitement but will require lots of work.  We know we cannot accomplish this alone and pray that God will give us patience and in the end, success!  The purpose of this blog is to share our journey with you and to update you with our progress and prayer requests.  Thank you all in advance for your support!

With Open Arms,
Karl and Amy
