Things are not all the same...

Oh my goodness!!!!
Since the last time I wrote almost everything has changed. To start out with... Josh and I have been enjoying raising Eowyn and had also been praying that the Lord would bless us with another Child. We had been trying to get pregnant for at least two years when we really got down about it and were wondering why things were not happening. Finally we started praying about adopting. I think that we prayed about it for maybe a week. *
There are so many things that lead up to this that I will try to tell it quickly. Over the past year we have been spending alot of time with an old friend of mine from when I used to live with my parents. This friend moved back here to Honeoye Falls to live with her mom after she had a baby. She would come over to our house alot and I would spend hours watching this little new born while his mom slept on our couch. I enjoyed some of the time I was caring for him and in the process made friends with this child. I shared God's love with him and his mommy and enjoyed doing so.
A year passed and this takes us back to the beginning of this entry. *

Josh and I were shocked when out of the blue we get a phone call from this friend. She asked us if we would pray about and consider adopting her son. (Think about that for a second)
After two days of prayerfully seeking God and talking to eachother Joshua and I called her back to inform her that we would. After about a week... we got to sit down and speak with her. We asked her if she would be more interested in us taking him in as family for a year while she got her life straightened out and then she could have him back. She thought that was a wonderful idea and happily signed papers to have him given to us for a year. April 09-April 2010. We were fine with that and we scheduled to have him moved in with us. We packed him up and brought him home with us. Life has been full of changes, stress, tears, Joy, happiness, peace, and all other emotions that are in existance and we trust that the Lord will strengthen us though it all.
About three months into the year of us caring for Jaden. His mom wrote us a letter telling us that she knew that she would not be able to care for him when she couldn't even take care of herself. She informed us that she wanted us to start the paper work and anything else that we need to do to adopt Jaden. We are now in the process of a long adoption that will be open for his family to be a part of his life. That will be interesting.
Jaden has been living with us since april. (6 months) and was with us when we celebrated his first birthday. He is enjoying being here and is slowly figuring out that his birth mother only comes to look at him for a while and then leaves again. We are praying that his heart will be able to heal from all the things that he has already experianced in his life. We love him soo much and he knows that. There is so much more that is going on but that is all I can write at this time.
I will write more soon.
