It's kind of official .. we're adopting!

We are so excited to announce our plans to adopt. Presently we're preparing to adopt a baby from Taiwan. We have applied with an agency and we're moving forward with the process to have our lives evaluated to make sure that we are fit to be adoptive parents. On Saturday, Case and I have our first meeting with the agency that will be doing our homestudy. The homestudy process will take a couple of months, and then, assuming we have a positive homestudy, we will get on a waiting list for a referral of a baby. The wait for a referral will be about 12 months and then another 4 months before we travel to to take our baby back to the US.

We believe that God has lead us to start this process. Even before we had children, we had a heart to adopt. We're taking a break from trying to have more biological children to pursue it now. While we wait for the referral of our child, we will start meeting with an infertility specialist to see if he can determine why we've been miscarrying.

We will keep you updated with our status and we'll include prayer requests regarding the process.
