I haven't used our blog since right before we brought Sadie home. I inundated everyone with pictures and updates through Facebook. So our baby girl that I wrote about has gone from this:
To this:
It is unreal how fast that happened. She took my breath the moment she was born. I never realized that my heart could love someone so incredibly much. We had actually discussed adopting our second child when Sadie was two but felt too overwhelmed financially. Honestly we don't feel less overwhelmed but can't stop but feel that God has laid this time on our heart to start growing our family.
Here are some of the thoughts that go through my mind as we start:
*How are we going to raise that much money again?!?!?
*We have a child, how am I going to be able to devote as much time as I did with Sadie to fundraising?
*Will people feel led to donate like they did with Sadie since we already have a child?
*What if people think that we should be happy with the child we have??
I know that the answer to most of those questions are God is in charge but my human nature brings serious doubt to the forefront of my mind. We do believe that God has called us to adopt again and very specially at this time. It doesn't make much sense but God just asks us to trust him. This is very hard for me (more so than Chris) but I am doing it. We have already raised $7,000 but will need much more in order to adopt. We have an upcoming fundraiser at Pizza Inn, March 31. I am also working on some other fundraisers right now so I will keep you updated.
I also want to share our youcaring page for anyone would like to donate. Please share our blog post on Facebook also.
