Greetings,
After two long years of infertility treatments, Doug and I have decided to stop treatments. We have made the wonderful decision to adopt a daughter. I have had a strong desire for several years to adopt a little girl from an Asian country. Over the past few weeks as we struggled with the decision to continue or stop the treatments, we felt that God was leading us to adoption.
Charlie is still undecided about if he wants a brother or a sister, but I am sure he will love a sister when she gets here!!!
We are leaning towards adopting from Taiwan, but we are also researching China and Thailand. Within the next couple of weeks we need to decide on a country and an agency. We have a long process ahead of us -- we need to get our butts in gear :-)
This is a wonderful exciting (long!!!) journey for our family, so I have started this blog to share our journey with our families and friends. We are expecting it to take about 2 years before we can bring our daughter home. I will try to update this blog regularly, my goal is once a week, but with life as busy as it is, who knows!!!

Even though I have not had the opportunity to know Amy and Charlie like I know Douglas I know that the decision you made is not only going to make your life's happier but is also going to change the life of a beautiful girl for better because is going to be full of love. Not everybody is willing to do something like that for somebody else.You guys deserve this opportunity, Charlie is going to be a very good brother. I am going to keep you in my prayers.

I'm so proud of you, and I will welcome a new baby girl or another baby boy. I will keep saving pennies in my big jar for the baby and praying that everything will come out OK.
Love to all.
We are praying for you and excited to see the Lord bring a new miracle baby to you. May the Lord guide your every footstep and provide all you need throughout the entire journey.
Love,

My heart is full of joy awaiting this little miracle! We will continue to stand in prayer with you that the Lord will keep your heart and mind at rest and in peace as He supplies all of your needs while you walk this journey to bring your daughter home.
