112 0f 365...We're Expecting

Did I get your attention? No, I'm not pregnant but we are trying to add to our family by adopting a little boy!!!

Geek Boy and I have always talked about adopting-even before we had our girls. After giving birth to our second daughter we decided not to try anymore for a natural child of our own and decided sometime down the road we would adopt a little boy.

Well the time has come. This decision has been weighing very heavy on my heart for about a year. We're not getting any younger and our girls are growing up so fast. We both feel this is the perfect time to start the process.

A lot of research has been done on our parts and after some very disappointing news with some local agencies, we have decided to try and adopt through the state and are hoping to find a little boy who wants to be part of a fun and loving home. Right now our goal is to adopt a boy no older than 8 years old. There is one boy we have inquired about and are just waiting for someone to get back with us.

Geek Boy and I are scheduled to go to an information meeting on Thursday and will hopefully get some more information on getting a home study done so we can officially start the process.

We are asking all of our friends and family for lots of prayers through this process. We are working on getting the house organized and decluttered. Geek Boy is giving up his man cave (computer room) for our potential son. Luckily our house is in very good shape but there are a few minor things that need to get done. So if anyone would like to help with peeling wall paper, ripping up carpet so we can stain the floors, paint, etc please feel free to come on over. I'll feed you and provide cold beverages of your choosing.

The Little Divas are very excited about welcoming a boy into our home. I think they have a new incentive for keeping their rooms cleaned and helping us organize the house. The older Diva is anxious to show him how to play soccer and basketball. The younger Diva can't wait to take him to school.

Of course Geek Boy and I realize that this is going to be a long journey and we are prepared to take all of the necessary steps to provide a home and necessary resources for this little boy to feel safe and loved. It will not be prefect and there will be difficult times but we are strong enough to handle it.

So there you have it!!! I will blog about the journey through the good times and not so good times. Please keep us in your prayers.
