Tough Decisions

So, we came home from our camping trip with about 20 loads of dirty laundry. Sweaty, smoky, covered in dirt laundry. I spent two days getting it done. Then started to clean the rest of our house in preparation for our annual adoption homestudy. First the vacuum broke, then the steam cleaner that I use in the bathrooms and to mop the floor. Not a good sign. Luckily Wes was able to fix the vacuum. My awesome visiting teacher Cynthia not only came over and helped me clean, but she let me borrow her steamer. The house wasn't perfect for our visit on Thursday, but it was good enough.

Our caseworker is wonderful, and we talked about exploring other options. We have looked into several other agencies that have a better birth mother/adoptive couple ratio. We know that one of the most successful ways to adopt is through a friend of a friend, so we are trying to decide how to do a better job of spreading the word. We are facing some difficult decisions about adoption right now, so we would really appreciate your prayers. We know that if we are meant to have a baby girl, it will happen. We just want to do everything that we can and rely on the Lord for the rest. Hopefully we will be buying a lot more pink by the time this year is over!!
