Here We Go!

Greetings everyone!  First off I will apologize for my lack of skill in the writing department.  John and I have decided to create a blog solely for the purpose of letting friends and family continue to stay up to date with our adoption adventure!  For those of you who may not know our "Baby History" I will try to briefly fill you in.

In 2007, after over a year of trying, John and I were finally expecting after using fertility medications.  Unfortunately, we ended up having a miscarriage.  Following our miscarriage we had to wait several months to try and conceive again due to some complications from the miscarriage.  Long story short, we tried and tried...and tried without any success.  Finally in 2010 we decided to do In-Vitro-Fertilization the beginning of 2011.  Little did we know that God's plan was far different than our own.  In November we unexpectedly were pregnant again, but not for long.  We had another miscarriage.  The crazy thing is, at that moment, we were completely convinced that we were through with all the fertility stuff and we wanted to adopt.  Adoption is something we had always talked about doing but we had never looked in to it.

John and I are very strong in our faith and we really felt like we were given a clear picture of what God's plan was for us at this time.  We decided to adopt a couple of months ago and we have not had any doubt in our decision ever since.

We decided to go through an agency that allowed us the freedom to do private or agency adoption.  We are just finishing up our home study and profile, then once we turn that in (and a small fee of course) we will be officially entered in the "waiting game".  We are very excited for what the future holds and we know that there is a specific baby that God intends to join our family and we can't wait.

We appreciate every one's thoughts and prayers, a lot of you have been along with us on this crazy journey over the past few years and we greatly appreciate your support?  We will use this blog to keep you up to date on any developments that occur!

Joanna & John
