As I dig out from yet another heap of guilt for not keeping up here, I've spruced up the place and found some new adoption and infertility blogs to get me back into reading on a regular basis. I'm still following/reading many of my old friends as well, but it has been fun and exciting to find others in a similar position as us--at the beginning of an adoption journey.
It is so strange being at the beginning of adopting again but to have entirely different feelings and perspective on the whole thing. I really do want to document my emotions and all the details because it's only fair to our future child. I want both my kids to have as many pieces to the puzzle as possible. Does that make sense?
One year ago, we had just met Tulip's first parents after being matched. We had absolutely NO IDEA what or where we were going--we just knew the road would likely be bumpy and amazing at the same time. I look back now and see just how necessary it was for our lives to mesh and cross at that exact moment. For them, and for us. For our daughter.
There is no doubt in my mind this time as we begin to wait for the next little life to join our family that we will be parents. God is so faithful and I am blessed to wait as long as He thinks is necessary for our family to grow. This time, I wait in peace and love and faith, and I am filled with hope and joy.
What a difference a year can make!

That's great that you are in such positive spirits and hopefulness this second time around. May it be rewarded by a placement soon :-)
I gave you an award on my blog.
ooh this is so exciting that you are growing your family again! Do you have to do lots of paperwork again or will the paperwork you did for Tulip suffice?
Glad to know that Tulip is doing so well!
Fingers crossed for you:)xo
