Hi all ... I'm wondering if you could pray for me? I have some huge decision making to do regarding the expansion of our family through adoption. Smile

It is weighing VERY HEAVY on my heart and we have been presented with what seems to be the perfect child for us (with DS, of course). Many, many things will go into this decision, which makes it so hard. Please pray that God just leads me (quickly) to the right decision. I wish I could show you all a picture of her ... she is SO beautiful, but until anything is for sure, I don't want to do that. Thank you so much!!

Right now we are waiting for her medical to be reviewed by the International Adoption Medicine Program because there are a lot of issues noted that I am unsure of. After we get that back, we will move on to the next decision/step. Smile
