And So The Journey Begins

Sean and I have finally decided that after about 4 years fo trying to conceive on our own that it was now time to try a different route. Sean and I have prayed about this decision for quite a while now and we feel that we are ready to begin this new journey in our lives.

Last night we finished all of the paperwork to begin the adoption/foster parent process. I felt like the papers were never going to end. From gathering our references to getting copies of our birth certificates, drivers licenses, SS cards and marriage certificate, I though it was never going to end. Then came the task of choosing the perfect snapshot of us. I went for our picture from a birthday party we recently attended. Finally having everything in order the papers were put in the mail at 8am this morning....now the wait.

We have told all of our immediate family and close friends about our decision. We have gotten a world wind of resposes. Seems everyone has their opinion and they aren't afraid to tell us. I appreciate every concern and trust me we have talked about almost all of them. Sean and I are going to love a child whether it is black, yellow red or green,

I told Sean on the way to work this morning this is the best I have felt in 3-4 years. I feel like a weight has been lifted from me and now I can finally be excited about having a child. I am ready for my turn to be the one to talk about all of the excitement of becoming a new parent.

My hope is that everything goes smooth for us and we will become parents soon. Sean and I have a lot of love to give a child. We both have the best family and friends in the world. Thank you all who have given us so much love and support already. We look forward to sharing our journey with you.

All our Love,
Jessica
