I had it in my mind that we would have 3 and then adopt (saying to my husband long before our 1st was even conceived "Wouldn't it be great to have 3 boys and then adopt a little girl"). So, 2 boys into our family, God throws a curve ball into our plan and calls us to adopt next (and we, too, are seeking the adoption of a daughter)! I still feel deep down that our 4th, if conceived as our 1st 2 were, will be a son, which I look forward to! Boys rock!JennStarhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11591559331706347072noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2691717715196899757.post-69455247469675233292007-12-04T01:48:00.000-06:002007-12-04T01:48:00.000-06:00Way to stay the course. Your list of reasons sound...Way to stay the course. Your list of reasons sounds so much like ours. I wish it wasn't the way it is with domestic adoptions. $40k for one Russian adoption isn't ideal either but you really can't put a price on the peace of mind that after court your family is yours forever no strings attatched. We too would like to do more. At this point we have decided to be supporters of as many programs working with Russain orphans (voc.-ed, counseling, portage, etc.) as we can. It would take an audible message from heaven for us to jump back into the international adoption scene because it has been such a journey but our oldest daughter, who has been seperated from us for an entire month, is already saying, "WHEN we adopt again..." She never ceases to amaze me!Dan and Alicia Marlowehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00459706450212905274noreply@blogger.com
