A Waiting Family

Time goes by so quickly! It's hard to believe that it has already been a couple of months since we officially started the waiting part of the adoption process. With each passing day we are increasingly excited... knowing that we're one day closer to getting the call that will change our life. One day closer to holding Baby Crisp for the first time.

This has been a very special time for us. A time of preparation. We don't mind waiting because we know that God has it all planned out already. With each month, we grow closer with God, closer to each other, and we're more prepared for the next chapter of our life. Don't get me wrong... it's not like I'm wanting to wait forever. But I know we won't. The timing will be perfect.

We have been so overwhelmed with the support of our family members and friends during this season of waiting! It's a very exciting time. We can hardly wait to share the story with you as it unfolds...

Promise to keep you posted and thanks for the prayers!

we also are thinking about your baby every day! you aren't waiting alone. i know this is an important time of growth and faith-building for your family, and you will look back and be so glad you had this foundational time. but i know we're all ready to see you guys move on to the next stage, too :-). cant wait!

Well said! We're so happy to hear all about your journey. Waiting is hard, whether it's an undetermined time for adoption or 9 months for pregnancy. But we're very excited for you! Enjoy this time of preparation and just look at it as a chance to catch up on date nights and reading baby books. :)

We are SO excited for you guys and can't wait to hear how the story unfolds. Baby Crisp is so loved already! Praying for all three of you (and Baby Crisp's birthmom)!
