Adoption Update

We were warned before, we knew our chances of having a rocky road were great, but we still are discouraged it's happening to us!  To say that adoption can be a roller coaster ride of emotions is true, but in reality it is more like the ride is frozen.  So frustrating to not know what's going to happen or never happen.

That is pretty much the update:)  Will be our update probably for another year.  We talked to our adoption agency about a month ago and we were around #70 on the waiting list (In January we were around #90 to give some perspective).  The positive side is that our adoption agency seems to be getting more referrals lately, so hopefully that continues.  In the last two months they were able to match 12 children with their forever families, if this trend continues it could be next summer when we know who the next Esterling is.  We know anything can change at anytime, so we continue to pray for God's provision.  

Last night at work, I saw a toddler boy with an afro and it just made me smile.  For some reason I am thinking we'll get a little boy and he just might have to sport an afro because I think they are so stinkin' cute!

In the mean time, I've become really motivated to do some major home renovations.  Maybe this is a form of nesting because I keep thinking "having three kids is going to be crazy...I need to update this house NOW...or else it could be YEARS".  

I'll have to share some inspirations for our future kitchen, unfortunately my dreams are bigger than our budget.
