Here we go...

My husband and I already have two gorgeous kids. Don't believe me? Take a look.

We also have a 1500 sq. ft. house. Well, 1553, if I'm going to be precise. Which I wasn't, but I guess I am now. Anyway, we also have a Honda civic that only fits 4 people and sometimes a dog. Don't believe me? Take a look.

Oh, you want to meet the dog (and cat?)

So yes, it's safe to say we're pretty crammed in our house (and car). Yet we've always loved the idea of adoption. "Maybe when we get a bigger house," we'd say. "Or a bigger car."

"Maybe when we've paid off all our debts." "Maybe when you get a bigger promotion." "Maybe when we get a sign from God." Etc, etc. You get the idea. The fact is, there will always be an excuse to not step out in faith and do what we have always wanted to do.

I want another voice to call me mommy. I want to bring a child with no family into ours. WE WANT TO ADOPT!

So, are we ready? Well, we don't have a bigger house. My husband hasn't had a huge promotion. We still have that pesky car payment. We still have 2 Honda civics that aren't getting any bigger. But will we EVER be ready? Will there always be an excuse?

All I know is our hearts are ready. My childrens' hearts are ready. I feel like God has led us to this decision, and even to the country we might decide on. Which country is that, you ask? Well, check in with me tomorrow, and all shall be revealed.

Thanks for reading! And it's nice to meet you.

Oh, you haven't met us?

There you go.
