Yesterday, Sophie and I had a girls morning out! We dropped the boys off at Grammy's house and then headed up town to visit daddy.
The bank where Shane works was hosting it's annual adoption expo. Several agencies along with CAS (the agency we used) were on hand to pass out information and answer questions concerning adoption.
We spent some time at CAS's booth, talking with potential parents and answering, as best we could, their questions concerning the adoption process. I remember being in their same shoes just a few years ago. It was actually at this same adoption fair, two years earlier, where Shane and I began our adoption quest. I remember being full of questions and feeling overwhelmed by the process. I pray that as these couples we met yesterday embark on their own adoption adventure they would be filled with peace. I pray they would walk this journey with confidence, trusting that the Lord has the PERFECT child picked out for them!
Looking back now though I can't think of anything that grew us more as a couple
or brought our family more joy!!!

What a great opportunity to talk about adoption. I think it is great for people hoping to adopt to be able to talk to people who have had such a blessing already!
I read your friends post and had goosebumps! I am so excited for them and I will keep them in my prayers.
I hope you have a wonderful weekend!!
That dress is super cute! She is such a blessing!
I followed the link to your friends blog...what awesome news!! Thanks for sharing! Where did you get your dress at...it's so cute!
It is so neat to see where God brings people. Who would have guessed all things blessing from God, even just a few years ago. He is good!
I love your blog. You have such a beautiful family. I also love that dress. I have 3 little girls and I think they need one!
I love your blog! You have a gorgeous family and your little Sophie is a doll! YAY for girl time and these are great pictures!
Your little girl is beautiful! I am also interested in domestic adoption, I am so glad it has worked out so wonderfully for your family. Do you have an open adoption, or closed? I am open to either, but I was just wondering....
God bless!!
What exciting news! I love Sophie's dress that is too cute! I have been working on some flower bows that you will have to check out once I get them up on my blog in another day or two.
