Life Changes

Nearly six years into our adoption process (we started 4/3/2008), we've officially cancelled our names from the wait list for infant adoption from China. We started our pursuit of wanting a family after many setbacks and doctors telling us it would be "hard," "difficult", or "impossible" to have biological children. We put our faith in God, our faith in each other and both started a pursuit of lifelong health & wellness. Alongside that, we pursued the expense and wait with the... US & China for international adoption placement. In the process we both got a lot healthier and a lot more in tune with better lifestyle choices. But most importantly through this we've been blessed beyond measure with two biological children of our own. Oscar and Ella TRULY are miracle children in our lives! I'm teary eyed typing this. The circumstances of getting them both here are stories for another day. If you asked me six years ago where we'd be in 2014, I NEVER WOULD HAVE GUESSED THE PROUD PARENTS OF TWO BABIES. I believe whole-heartedly that miracles do happen in today's day & age. Everything was out of our hands. Holly & I both had to put complete faith & trust in our God as to what our family dynamic would be in the end. Humbled. Grateful. Ecstatic. Tired. And so very aware that there is so much more to life than what we think. I feel when we practice spirituality or religion; we recognize that life is bigger than us. I'm so grateful for our two miracles.
