Fears are beginning
The adoption process is long, praise the Lord because the anxiety of adopting a child, a young child is setting in. Questions like, "what am I going to be feeding this baby, formula, solid food" how do I transition to solid food, how do I change a diaper, what am I doing!!!!" have started to come into my mind. Don't get me wrong I am still totally excited about this and can't wait to have a child, and I know that God is going to teach Mike and I along the way but those fears are still there. So I thought I'd ask if anyone had some advice, resources that they could think of. If you do let me know, and of course pray because this is going to be one adventure.

Telling the Grandparents to be
Though we know that God has called us to adopt and we have His leading, we very much were hoping that are parents would receive this news with joy, excitement and with their support. We expect that adopting will provide us multiple opportunities to rely on the Lord and then report back praise reports of how He provided. What a joy to us it is that not only are our parents excited for us but so are our siblings!!

The beginning
Step one complete: pick adoption agencies. We are blessed to have a local Christian adoption agency to complete our homestudy and guide us in this process. We have picked a second agency that is responsible for coordinating the process in South Korea. Next steps mounds of paperwork, education classes and the homestudy. Advice, anyone?
