We are, with the Lord's leading and providing, adopting three older children from Ukraine! We don't have the money, but God has been providing what we need at each step of the way. We still need so much, but we know that it's not a challenge for Him! We don't want to let the children down, so we pray and get the word out as much as possible. Come visit my blog, if you like, and God bless you and your family this year!<BR/>~Debbie (Inch by Inch on the Loom)Debora Hoffmannhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09947148491137183181noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4307948690637632633.post-13418136794024303232008-12-06T14:25:00.000-08:002008-12-06T14:25:00.000-08:00Hi Kelly.

I'm thankful that we were able to have the experience of adoption. It was a wonderful thing!Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12676934511271640399noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4307948690637632633.post-49780772191424128462008-12-06T14:18:00.000-08:002008-12-06T14:18:00.000-08:00Hi Rose!

We adopted Evie when we lived in a different area, so most people don't know she is adopted now that we have moved back to our hometown. We feel blessed to have her in our lives!Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12676934511271640399noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4307948690637632633.post-22784644866416181032008-12-05T10:13:00.000-08:002008-12-05T10:13:00.000-08:00Wonderful photos Jen.

I was considering adoption when I didn't think I would get pregnant but then found out I was just when we gave up.<BR/>So I too had looked into adoption, and it is pricey. 20,000, seems inexpensive from what I've seen.<BR/>Adoption is something still on my heart but honestly we couldn't swing that sort of money either.<BR/>I too just tell myself to sit back enjoy my life and if God want's me to adopt then doors will open and things will happen.<BR/>I'll be praying for the same for you.<BR/>I've looked into fostering too but like you I don't think I could give a child back or even live day to day giving my all as a mom with the prospect that they could go back to their natural mom or dad at any time. It would rip my heart out too.Khttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18031256003548447236noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4307948690637632633.post-33333917221353865602008-12-05T08:02:00.000-08:002008-12-05T08:02:00.000-08:00Hey Jen...Thanks for your kind comments!

I have some friends from church(actually 2 couples) who are currently waiting for children from Ethiopia. It is a little less but still costly! <BR/>It looks like your gearing up for a Big party...SO MUCH FUN...8 princesses! That's what Sophie had last year too!

We actually checked out fostering and foster adopting, but I would have such a hard time with getting attached and then having to give the baby (or child) back. That would rip my heart out! We will just see what God has in store for us :).<BR/><BR/>Hi SM. Yes, He always does provide :). I am so thankful for that. <BR/><BR/>Daisy, thank you for your prayers! I really appreciate them!Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12676934511271640399noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4307948690637632633.post-89051781578958099772008-12-04T05:18:00.000-08:002008-12-04T05:18:00.000-08:00We can certainly pray about this with you Jen!

You look radiant too - as any new mom should!<BR/><BR/>I believe that if God wants you to go down this adoption path again, then he will open the doors and provide.<BR/><BR/>Another option, have you considered full-time foster care? I don't know how it works in the US, but here often those that do full-time foster care are able to adopt somewhere down the line. Obviously there are pros and cons but it might be something for you to think about.Juleshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08923641039706647805noreply@blogger.com
