What I Want To Do When I Grow Up
Amy Scott linked to this story.
Since before this current pregnancy I've been telling my greek god that I am praying that the Lord allows us to adopt again. I long for it. Some women love to be pregnant and birth their babies and want more and more . . . I love adoption and want more and more. When we found out I was pregnant with Baby Tex I told Dan that I thought it would be so cool to get to birth this lil' guy and when he's one (or around the time of weaning) we adopt a little one. Much of this dream of mine (being able to nurse an adopted lil' one) hinges on me being able to nurse all the way through and not have to stop due to postpartum depression.
Throughout this pregnancy the desire to adopt, again, has grown stronger. I find it humorous that I am uncomfortably pregnant looking forward to meeting our newest family member yet longing for one after him.
It makes me sad to think we are done adopting. I know God's plans are better than ours so I rest in that and hope that I can be a big girl and not throw a temper tantrum if God says "No".

You just never know with God. We have loved all of our children so much! But after we sure thought we were done....then God laid adoption on our hearts and we have Sam. I love when things happen that let you know, know, know God is in total control of everything!
oh MB, how cool it would be to nurse an adopted child! I hope God says 'yes' too.
Words cannot EVEN begin to express how my heart longs for the Lord to say "yes".
