YES!!!

On the day after my previous post, I told Ian about my spiritual confirmation of our need to bring a child into our home. He was surprised and what seemed to be rather doubtful. I don't think he doubted my spiritual intuitiveness(is that a word??), it think it just sounded unreasonable and a bit crazy. Once I went through my thoughts with him and showed him the research I had found on how I thought we could afford this, he asked if I was ready for another child, why didn't we just get pregnant again? So I explained how I had had the same thought, but after my terrible discomfort at the end of David's pregnancy(gross understatement) combined with my unhealing plantar fasciitis - I didn't think it would physically be a great idea for me to get pregnant. I need to work on getting my body stronger and my feet healed. I actually need to make an appointment for some physical therapy. And I'm still so young! There are plenty of women in the world who aren't even close to having their first child by the age of 26...I think I'll have plenty of time to get pregnant again. Anyway, he still seemed to have some reservations which would lead me to doubt myself...until I remembered the undeniable experience I had had. So I asked him to pray about it and let me know when he received his answer. After a week and a half, he finally had his answer. When we came home from church today I walked in the kitchen. He leaned against the stove and said, "We can adopt." I literally got butterflies in my tummy. How silly! And exciting!! I feel like it's Christmas or something, I'm so giddy. So I sent an email off to Michelle at Adoption Advocates International, the organization that runs Layla House - where my brother and sister in law: Miki and Tuni are from. It's been an hour and no response...I wish she would hurry! (kidding...kinda)
