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.

my mom just told me that you and mike are applying to adopt. How exciting! I can't wait to hear all of your good news. I hope you are doing well otherwise, my dear cousin. You are in my prayers through this journey. My parents and I just looked through all of my adoption paperwork when I was home last. It was really neat to see it all.
ReplyDeleteJenny, with all of my baby experience (which is practically none :) here is my advice. Check out the radio archives at www.familylife.com it is an amazing radio program with 30 minute, Christ centered, practical programs on topics like parenting, marriage etc. They've also got a lot of great articles to read. Love you!
