Hopefully soon!
So, as of last Thursday, we are on the active foster family list. That means, that we could get a call any day and our lives could change forever. I hope that we don't have to wait too long, but I guess we have no other choice.
Life has been...well, interesting lately. Nothing major has happened, I just feel like I am in a weird place. I don't know how to describe; I just feel off. I am finding thing that have never challenged me in the past becoming difficult for me. I almost feel like something great is in the works and Satan is doing everything in his power to break me. I am trying to be more diligent at the things that I am suppose to be doing, i.e. studying the scriptures, praying, temple attendance, etc.
He will not break me!
We are still an active adoptive family through LDS Family Services. We haven't heard much from them. I think that fewer birth mothers are placing their babies with adoptive families. It has become so excepted by the world for a young girl to parent her child. I could not imagine being a young, single mom. It would be so difficult. Through our adoptive training classes, we have learned that a young woman who decides to parent their child is less likely to finish high school or any higher education and less likely to marry. I'm not trying to make it seem like the decision is an easy one, and I could never imagine placing my baby with another family. I guess, in the end, the decision needs to be what is best for the baby. I would hope that any young girl who is in this situation remembers to get on her knees and ask for her Father in Heaven to guide her to make the right decision.
Please remember us if you hear of any
situations that may lead to adoption.

We are really eager to build our eternal family.
Thanks for the love and support!
