Thank you all so much for your sweet comments! Kaz and I are so excited! It’s been a long road….We’ve prayed and thought about this for a long time, and really feel the Lord calling us to adopt! There have been so many amazing blessings that the Lord has confirmed along the way….Yesterday, we had our first meeting with Bethany Christian Services. Our next meeting is April 16th, and then the home study will begin! We will be adopting a newborn domestically!
For a long time, I never even thought about this option…and to be honest with you I didn’t want to adopt but over time the Lord has completely changed my heart AND FOR ONCE I don’t desire to be pregnant. I’m truly so excited about this journey and can’t wait to see what the Lord has in store. Over time, I’ll tell you more of this process and some of the amazing ways the Lord has confirmed this step!
Thanks again for all your support and prayers:)

Congratulations! How exciting!
Congratulations! I can't wait to hear about your journey.
I'm so happy for you guys! Have a Wonderful Day!
Amy, I am SO excited. And, the scripture you posted on your blog is the exact scripture our daughter-in-law claimed as they went through infertility and then decided to adopt. AND, then God blessed them with two more daughters biologically. She made a book for each of the girls--"You Grew in My Tummy" and "You Grew in My Heart." I cried when I tried to read them. I can't wait to follow your journey and thanks for stopping by my blog and always leaving a comment.
I'm so excited for you guys. What a blessing. What a difference you'll get to make in a baby's life and it gets to make in yours.
congrats!! what a new exciting chapter in your guys' life!!

So happy for the peace that God has provided for you! Very excited for you guys to start your family!
okay. so the day that we are out of town (yesterday and part of today - kelly led worship at a youth retreat) is the day that i miss your amazing, long awaited, super exciting adoption post! ugh! so sad i'm a day late. the pictures are gorgeous!!! can't wait to hear about your bethany meeting. i love how God is granting you the desires of your heart. hugs to you!
Jeremiah 29:11 is my favorite verse in the entire Bible. It's so amazing how things work out and the timing is always meant to be.
I am so sorry, I just realized I wasn't following you in the little "following box" and totally assumed I had.
I cannot wait to see what God has in store for your beautiful family!
Your pictures are just too cute, what a great idea! I'm so excited for you two. My husbands cousins have adopted domestically (within their own state, actually) and have three beautiful babies now. May the Lord bless this new endeavor!
I am just so excited for you both! I have three adopted sisters :) So amazing!

It is SO awesome when you've been praying SO HARD for something and then all of a sudden...that peace that passes ALL understanding consumes you.
Blessed be His name!
Congrats! Your baby will be so blessed to have you all as parents!
God has GREAT plans for you and your (now growing!) family!!! Can't wait to follow all of your journey and celebrate with you! God is so good!!!
i already said congrats. but congrats again. i'm truly excited to follow your story!! 'my story' is way different than yours but i know how it feels to have that desire to want to be pregnant, and read 'not pregnant' time after time. and i know it can ONLY be god to take that feeling away. how incredible. i seriously could bawl right now!! i love that scripture in jeremiah. SO fitting to SO many things!!
God has taken my desire to be pregnant, too. What a joy (I mean, when you go through infertility). Sometimes it rears up again, but I go straight to God with it and He fills me every single time!
Big, giant congrates to you guys... I know that everything in our lives happens for a reason.. Keep trusting in the Lord.. and the blessings will keep pouring down.. I'll keep you in my prayers.. Best wishes!

So happy for you! Don't know you, but know the journey you are about to embark on. It's an amazing one that won't be anything like you expect, but will far exceed what you anticipated for your life. And the love for this child???? Forget about it. It's gonna be huge!! :-) Hugs from Missouri! So happy for your "paper" pregnancy. Cuz, guess what? You're expecting!
"I dont desire to be pregnant"... that just shows how God can work on a person & a heart... a true testimony!
wow, that is so exciting to see what the Lord is doing through you and your husband! :)
Dear Amy, I haven't stoped by in a few days and I lost the announcement of such HUGE news.
I have tears in my eyes. I am really excited and looking forward to read all the great news ahead of you!!!!
So exciting. I am so happy I get to follow your journey from the beginning.
Blessings,
Amy
