Welcome to Blogger World!

So we've decided to create a blog to capture our journey of expanding our family through adoption! We're VERY new at this (other than reading other peeps blogs), so bear with us while we work out the kinks!

Well as many of you know we started out last year (March 5, 2007) on our journey to adopt from China. As you've probably heard....China has really slowed down and exponentially extended our wait to to bring home baby! So, after much prayer and consideration, we have decided to go ahead with a concurrent adoption in KOREA! We couldn't be more excited! We are very hopeful that this process will be much more expeditious, but only time will tell! We are not closing the door in China either. We both feel that right now there is still a piece of our hearts there as well!

We have already been approved with our agency for Korea and will start a new Home Study any day now! We do have to start all over. Our first agency is a China-Only agency and Korea works with very few agencies, so looooong story short....here we go again! We know what to expect to some extent and that gives us more peace!

Well, I guess that's it for my first stab at blogging....Happy Monday!

Welcome to the Blogging World! I will add you to my favorite families on my blog! I just love using my blog as a journal since having two 3 yr. olds there is NO time for scrapbooking to preserve memories these days! I continue to pray for your family.

Hi Courtney, I enjoy reading your updates and pray for your sweet family. I thought you might enjoy the blog of a friend of mine from college who just got home from Africa with their two new babies. It is an amazing story. Blessings to you! Love, Ashley
