Where to start....

Ok, so I've been asked when and how Joe and I started to think about adoption....and I guess it really started at the beginning of our marriage. We always said we would love to adopt if we were ever 'rich' enough. And, honestly, at that time we were strictly speaking of money. Over the past 12 1/2 years of marriage, God has shown us over and over again that our 'success' in His eyes has little to do with what is in our bank accounts or how much room we have in our home.
After having three wonderful, amazing biological children, we thought our family was complete. And to back up a few years before that, after having a son and a daughter, I guess we felt our family may have been complete back then, too. But, thankfully, God has better plans for us than we could ever imagine and we have been blessed with a son and two daughters, so far.
So about two years ago, I started to feel as though adoption was really supposed to be part of our family's plan, but Joe thought I was a little crazy.
After much prayer, many 'family meetings', research, and a trip to China, we decided as a family that we are more than 'rich' enough in all the areas that really matter. So we have begun our journey to the newest member of our family....a baby girl in Viet nam.
