Thanks for that! It was a little helpful. I have looked into adopting through the state. Currently, they only have teenagers, and with my son only being 8 (almost 9) I don't think that's best. I also want to be careful about putting a "difficult situation" in the house with the child God has already given us. If it was just us, I wouldn't be as worried. I just feel like it is my first responsibility to take care of the gift God already gave me.
I've been everywhere looking at everything I think! lol Everytime I google search, I've already looked at all of the pages it gives me. lol I know there is an answer, and I may just have to be still and listen for a while. I'm getting so tired of being patient, but I know it will be worth the wait when I get what God has planned for me rather that something I went out and did on my own.
All of these things sound right, and it is really easy to say. lol It just isn't as easy to live. I want to be done yesterday and be holding a baby while I type to you, but it just doesn't happen that way. 6 years of waiting feels like an eternity, and I'm so tired of getting the phone calls from all my friends about the prenancy they didn't want but will be happy with they guess. It's just painful.
I was really hoping someone could give me more direction, but everything about adoption is so personal, I guess no "one way" is completely right. It's all just what you can deal with. There are so many different agencies, and I was hoping to hear from someone who had a wonderful experience and could tell me which one to contact. That's more overwhelming than anything I think!
Thanks so much for your reply, and we'll see what happens! I'm just going to keep praying, and hopefully God will just start leading us in the right direction when He is ready!
