I seriously wonder if God does not call everyone to be parents. You'd think we would have placement by now, all those kids out there needing a home and that. I enjoy your blog, though. I am so happy for you and your family and pray that He guides in the days ahead!PPRhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06107201381953496789noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5544681789558809568.post-60637495478513383012010-07-29T20:27:35.183-04:002010-07-29T20:27:35.183-04:00awe. cute pic. my little levi has that same outfit...awe. cute pic. my little levi has that same outfit. it's a little big on him now, but he will grow into it :)Trishhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17976648357789656866noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5544681789558809568.post-85465918800477625752010-07-29T18:41:50.191-04:002010-07-29T18:41:50.191-04:00Katie, I have just read your entire story blog and...Katie, I have just read your entire story blog and I have cried through your tribulations and smiled at the blessings God has provided for you.<br /><br />I am one of the 10% who have unexplained infertility in the U.S. I won't bore you with my story, but after years of being angry at God, I finally returned to my roots, hit my knees and have received blessings that out weigh my hurt.<br /><br />My husband and I have a total of 5 children: I have 2 handsome, wonderful step-sons that I love as my own, and we have adopted 3 (2 girls and 1 boy). We felt so blessed to have been given these gifts, as of today, they are all ages 28, 27, 26, 21, & 20 yrs. <br /><br />Summer of last year while watching the news, the Wednesday Child report came on and my husband and I both felt the urge to add to our family again. We know it was the hand of God gently guiding us along as we honestly were enjoying our empty nest! We began the process again of homestudy, etc. and opened our heart to looking for ANY child. We are now awaiting our new daughter's visit to our home for a week next Monday. We have been matched, accepted, and are so thrilled to have been given the gift of a beautiful, 16 yr old girl who wanted a family to share her life. WE, however, are the ones that are being blessed.<br /><br />Adoption is the most precious gift our Lord allows us to receive ~ God Bless You and your family!rhonda.eichlerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13656832449720487936noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5544681789558809568.post-55463299285536693382010-07-29T16:44:00.116-04:002010-07-29T16:44:00.116-04:00Thanks for this post.

Since I developed preeclampsia very early with Bryson the risk of me having another preemie is high (he was only 28 weeks), therefore we may just decide not to push the envelope and be glad God graced us with Bryson in our lives. You are uplifting.

We've thought about adopting someday too, but it seems like it can be a very overwhelming process! We'll stick with one kiddo for the time being:-)Ericahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06837179671078758427noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5544681789558809568.post-57986579890417628542010-07-29T09:50:53.491-04:002010-07-29T09:50:53.491-04:00Thanks for this post.

We are totally on board to start our adoption process, but knowing I physically can get pregnant, but not knowing whether or not I can carry a baby is so frustrating. Do we or don't we? We're leaning towards not trying again and possibly adopting all our children. It's nice to know I'm not alone in these thoughts.<br /><br />Thanks!<br />KerryKAMhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18261499044344019218noreply@blogger.com
