The Flag is up! (this is the big family announcement you've been waiting for)

Well...here it is! This is our registration form we are sending to the National Down Syndrome Adoption Network. Yep. You heard right.
We are ADOPTING!
A baby with Down Syndrome!!!!!
Yes, we realize you think we are crazy. That's okay. We're doing what God's called us to do and that is seldom the perceived "sane" thing to do.

There will be lots more info to follow. Like, how we chose this and how we're planning to fund it. (Quilt-a-palooza, anyone?) There are lots of unknowns right now. Lots of "wait and see." But life is full of those, isn't it?

In the mean time, pray for us. Pray for that mom out there that just received a prenatal diagnosis of Down Syndrome. Pray she chooses LIFE!!! 90% don't. Pray.


P.S. Jen posted a winner for the quilt giveaway. Wonder if there will be any more of those quilt giveaways around HERE anytime soon...Hmmmm...I wonder... (hint, hint)

I wish you many blessings. You know I will be praying. (In fact, my girls will be in front of Planned Parenthood this weekend praying for babies and their moms!)
You have my respect and admiration, and much love.

It is nice to know people that say I will when most say I can't, or won't. Saying a prayer for ya'll! I love your babies and admire ya'll because I see how hard and I wish ya'll the very best!
