Dh and I didn't think we could get pregnant when we first got married so we checked with an agency and started filling out paperwork. About three month after we picked up the paperwork we found out we were indeed expecting. Our adoption plans were pushed by the wayside as we enjoyed our beautiful baby boy and again four years later when we had a second baby boy. Once our life got going with our two boys adoption was not talked about again. When our boys were 2 and 6 we decided our family was finished and dh had surgery to prevent any further pregnancies. Although we decided together to have no more children I still ached in my heart for a little girl to dress in frills and play dolls with, I prayed that if it was His will adoption would be placed on our hearts again and I would get my little girl. Five years to the day from dh's surgery a friend called and said that she knew how bad I wanted a little girl and that she knew of a teenage girl who lived near her and was expecting a baby girl in three months who was looking to place the baby with an adoptive family.We met "E" the next afternoon and 2 1/2 months later we were standing in the delivery room when our baby girl was born. Our God is an AWESOME God and prayers are answered!
Below are two pictures, one when our daughter was only two minutes old (after a VERY long day) and one taken this past weekend. She's a true blessing to our family!
