Letting the Cat out of the Bag

If you follow my blog at all, you may know that getting pregnant has not come easy for us. And once again, our latest "infertility treatment" attempt has failed, so we are coming out with some other news--we are officially in process of adopting. We have kept quiet about this for the last few months, and secretly done doctors visits, paper work, got references, made tons of photocopies and phone calls, attended one orientation, had criminal checks done, etc., etc. We wanted to keep it all quiet because we knew we were still going to pursue some options at the infertility clinic as well. So as of 2 days ago, we are taking a break from the clinic for the summer, and going full force for adoption. We have our first weekend training next weekend--so Craig's mom is coming to stay with Hudson for the weekend. We always thought we would try for an international adoption, but in the last few months, God has significantly changed our hearts. There are orphans in desperate need of a loving family right here in our own backyard, so we are adopting from Alberta--and chances are, we will get an older child. It's a lot to take in, but we know God has put this on our hearts. So, we're off to training, then we will be able to get our homestudies complete. If they accept us as a suitable family, we will then be waiting for our child. Please pray for us and for this child--and for Hudson. There could be lots of new things in the next few months. I will keep you all posted--but for now, we wait!!
