Thanks so much to all of you who read our last post, are reading this now, and/or have left encouraging comments. It feels so great to know that people still care for our girl and our family.
As we start to head into our next adoption journey it seems like some have been a bit surprised that we are back at it again. Family members asked if we were ready. This was asked out of concern -- not out of condemnation. We ARE indeed ready. Not because we are done grieving or because we feel like we are ready to move on. I can tell you that could not be further from the truth. However, we are ready to experience a separate joy. We are ready for more noise in our house, more tiny voices, more little things to lose in the wash, more sleepless nights, more carseats in the backseat. Our family was meant to be bigger than three. Our grief and our joy is not something that will line up next to each other on a continuum. They are two separate things that we will experience at the same time. Yes we miss our daughter desperately and whole heartedly; yes we are longing for a new love in our family.
We are working to finish our updated home study. Then we will begin the process of signing up with an agency and beginning the wait to be matched with our next child. This is exciting. This makes me nervous. This feels really right. We would so love any prayers you have to offer on our behalf that this match would be made perfectly in every way.
I would also like to offer fair warning. I really like adoption. Like, a whole, whole lot. So especially now that we are embracing it anew right now, you will probably hear many of the reasons why I think it is a lovely institution over the coming weeks. But then again, if you're like me, this might just compel you to come back and keep reading. (Because it's so awesome {adoption that is}.)
Love,
Molly
