Our Direction is Decided

After doing some searching for our new direction as far as agencies is concerned, we have found one that we have fallen in love with. Our new agency will be Hope for Adoption in Canton, GA. Yes, it's ironic that both of the agencies that we have really liked happen to be in the same state and that's not what we set out to do. After talking with a caseworker there, we feel so comfortable with them. She has answered all the questions that we have given her & they are also in need of families. We have always been aware that because we already ahve 4 children, that we may not appeal to some birthmoms but it only takes 1. It is already very humbling to know that God already knows our next child. He knows when and He knows who. It brings us such comfort in so many of the unknowns that He has everything all worked out, even in the times of our uncertainty. We are currently working on our profile book. Um, anyone want to volunteer to do this for me?? Yes, this is very difficult. We want to be real with how our lives are without scaring her off   being fake. So there will be pictures of our son covered from head to toe in spagetti sauce, cake or pudding. We want our lives to seem full but not too full so that we don't give the impression that there isn't room for another child in our schedules. We also have to write a birthmother letter which is also hard. How in the world can you sum up in words how you feel about someone without knowing her? I know what our hopes & dreams are for our relationship with her but we have no idea if that will ever happen & what kind of circumstance we are looking at. So again, it's back to trying to be as real as possible without over promising anything. Just pray for us that the right words & the right portrayal of our family comes easier than it is right now. Can't wait to update everyone on when we are officially paper ready!!
