Starting Over

After much thought and prayer, our Family has decided to pursue another adoption. We have talked with our older children about this decision of adding one more to our family of 5 and are both quite excited. The other night at dinner we were seated at a table for 6 and Lizzy commented that possibly next year we will need the spare chair to accommodate our family of 6. Maddie is excited too at the thought of a having a little sister to play with.

I have completed the initial application to Holt International (which is the adoption agency that we used for Maddie's) and we start the Hague Training on April 12th and the Homestudy shortly thereafter.


I have quickly forgotten how much paperwork is involved in the Adoption Process!! But here we go. Thank goodness I kept all of the paperwork from Maddie's adoption and can use it as a guide to complete this batch of paperwork.



Please pray for our family as we make this amazing journey again. And pray for our little girl - whose face and name we do not know yet but GOD does.
