Building Our Family

After losing a baby over the summer Rob and I truly understand just how much we want more children in our lives. And Aiden is longing for a sibling more than ever. We could continue to try to conceive but would most likely have to utilize some alternative measures to do so. We have decided as a family that there isn't a need for us to go through all of that in order to add to our family. We have been intensely weighing the benefits and options surrounding both foster care and adoption. At this point we have put fostering on the back burner as there are too many uncontrollable variables that could potentially have a negative impact on Aiden. As he grows older and is able to understand and process through the gravity of those types of circumstances then we will put that thought back on the table. For now though we have chosen adoption and have finally selected an agency to work with. We are moving full speed ahead with all of the requirements that are necessary for approval. Once we are approved by our agency then we wait for the right placement to come along. We are nervous and ecstatic at the same time. There are a lot of decisions that we have to make in order to complete our profile. From here we are just going to open our hearts and our minds and wait for our plan to unfold which is so much easier said than done.
