I think for everyone it is different. When Kris and I were just DATING we talked about how we would love to adopt one day. It took us 8 months to get pregnant with DS after we got married and then when we found out we couldn't have any more children we knew that God intended for us to adopt. We felt led to Guatemala and never once questioned our decision. We still feel that we have been led down this path by God's will. I think it is a very personal decision and everyone's reasons for adopting are different. All I can say is that we have always had a complete peace that we were doing what was intended for our life. We just "knew" this was what was for us. It's a hard path...adoption....a lot more harder then I thought it would be.....but....I still don't question the fact that our daughter was supposed to be in our family. I have no idea when she will come home but she was meant for us....and God made that clear to us.
