It seems we have come full circle. On Friday we received our dossier back from our agency - almost a year from the time we started this journey our file is officially closed. It truly feels like it has been a journey - one that has lead us back to the exact place we started. Where the first 7 months were filled with forms, trips, seals, notarizations, excitement, etc. - the last 4 months have been filled with heartache.
As time has gone by the heartache has eased, but I do believe it will be with us always. Just this morning at church we saw the cutest little Asian girl - it brought tears to our eyes. Thankfully we are getting to the point we can smile through the tears. We both felt so strongly that this was the direction God was leading us - I am still holding out hope that something will happen in the future that will allow us to continue pursuing this dream.
Isn't it so how sometimes during the deepest sorrow joy springs new and exciting things happen. As this door was closed for us - God certainly opened another. We found out 6 weeks ago that we are expecting a baby - a miracle gift from God!
Thank you for all of the prayers you've prayed on our behalf - and continue to pray! I look forward to keeping you posted on all things baby....

Hey You two!!!
I am SOOO excited!!!
There have been so many prayers lifted on your family's behalf, I know you and Greg will be blessed.
So glad you're doing ok and can't wait to hear (and see) more as you progress throughout your pregnancy!
I am continually amazed at how God provides for us in ways we weren't expecting. I am so excited for you and Greg and will continue to pray for you and your family.
