Hold the phone!

I can't believe I'm writing this.  It looks like we might  be switching gears and going for adoption.

I know.  I'm the last one I ever thought would say that.  I've written a lot in the past about how I do not want to adopt.  It still isn't my first choice, but neither is having to go through fertility treatments.

Yesterday DH totally shocked me by asking if I would like to look into adoption.  We have a few friends who have adopted internationally (one is in Ukraine right now working on bringing her daughter home).  I don't know what changed his mind, but he is open to the idea now.

We are going to have to do a lot of fundraising because as you all know adoption isn't cheap.  We're weighing our options with what direction we're going to go.  Right now we're leaning towards international special needs adoption.  But we're also going to set up a meeting with a local adoption agency to look at domestic.

My head is spinning.  This is insane.

Good luck to you! I'll be praying for you to have some clarity and peace with your decision. Adoption isn't an easy thing to do, but if you decide it is for you, it's the best thing in the world! I can't wait to see where this journey leads you!
