Growing our Family

J and A have been married for 4.5 years and would love to have a baby. This is a chronicle of their issues with infertility and the children they know God is planning for them.

Has it really been that long?

Who knows if anyone ever even checks this. However, it popped in my head tonight, so I thought I'd update it. Yes, I realize it's almost been a year. What a year! Life has gone on, and God has worked in miraculous ways. He's brought Jeff and me to the same place at the same time. As Jeff says, we are expecting our first baby in a few months... from TAIWAN! Yeah, it seems a bit misleading at first, but it's still true. On Beth Moore's Daniel bible study tonight, she talked about the devil attacking our weaknesses. When he realizes he can't attack a weakness anymore, don't think he's given up! He'll find another weakness. Well, infertility was a weakness. Notice the past tense of the linking verb. God has answered our prayers, changed the desires of our heart, and now we cannot express our joy over waiting for the phone call with the referral. So, there is a happy ending. Soon, hopefully very soon, we will know our son and be on the road to fulfilling our dream of parenthood.

I saw your comment on my friends site (Ladybugs and Dragonflies-Annslee) and wanted to say congratulations on your upcoming adoption! We have a 2 1/2 year old (Amelia on Annslee's site) from China and leave on Thursday to adopt a little 8 month old boy from Vietnam. Adoption is amazing and my husband and I could not have biologically made a child as beautiful or fantastic as our daughter (and I'm sure our son) has turned out to be. Hope you don't mind if I follow your journey (we live here in Nashville also-saw your link on the sidebar to a Nashville clinic I think).

Congratulations! We adopted from China in 2005, after God leading us to do so. What a wonderful journey. Can't wait to see pics!
