Well....we are moving forward



I am so embarrassed to see how long it has been since I have posted to this blog. We have been super busy with a variety of things. Justin has been really busy working for INPO, the same company who has been wonderful to us and our family. I finished my school year last spring. Over the summer, I completed my ORFF Level II training, began a children's summer music program at Reinhardt UNIVERSITY (we just became University as of June1st!!), and I taught summer graduate school. We took a short jaunt to Disney World in early May and had a wonderful time. We also made two trips to my mom and dads to visit over the summer. We are now back in school, and life is super busy again.

One other big event going on in our lives is that we have begun a domestic adoption for an infant. Adoption is something that Justin and I have prayed about for quite some time. This summer, the timing seemed right to begin the lengthy home-study process. As of 2 weeks ago, we completed and received our approved home-study! We are very excited! We are working with an adoption consultant who works with agencies and attorneys all over the country. It is estimated that we will complete the process and welcome babyLee2 into our forever family in about 10-12 months.

Lucas is very excited about being a big brother and asks when we are bringing home "his baby." We would love to have a little girl but are open to whatever God brings to us. Mostly, we are praying for a healthy baby to love and cherish. Please keep our family in your thoughts and prayers. This entire process is more expensive than we ever imagined, however, we feel confident that the Lord will provide and lead us in the direction of His will.

I will keep everyone posted on our adoption journey. We will also be participating in several adoption fundraisers to raise money to achieve our adoption dream. There will be more information on our fundrasiers as they become available.
