If you don’t know already… we’ve had quite an eventful couple of months (as evidenced by my lack of blogging). Last time I blogged on here we were in the midst of an adoption and all of the fundraising, appointments, and paper pushing that entails. I was also ferociously studying for a certification I was required to pass to keep my job, and we had about a million OTHER stressors going on.
Well apparently God didn’t care that it was the most stressful time I’d ever experienced and that usually doesn’t lead to successful conceptions. He didn’t care that I would need every brain cell in order to focus on my certification exam and couldn’t afford to be distracted by pregnancy hormones. He didn’t care that Daniel and I had WORKED our butts off scrounging together every penny we could find to pay for an adoption. He didn’t care that we had spent so much time and energy completing mountains of paperwork and driving around the planet to complete psych evaluations, passport and fingerprinting appointments, vet appointments, etc. etc. etc.
Sometimes I wonder if God was just checking to see if we were really serious and would actually go through with the adoption. Or if we would back down when we saw how much money it would require, how much debt we would have to go into, or how many obstacles we would have to overcome.
I guess we passed the test… or something. We found out we were pregnant exactly FIVE days before we completed our adoption home study and shelled out $7,500 that we would not have been able to get back! I’ll give more details of how we found out in another post, but suffice it to say we were SHOCKED!
So the adoption is officially on hold. We lost our spot for this year. With South Korea we will have to wait until this baby is a year old before we can get involved with the adoption process again.
God is good! His timing is always perfect
