Divine Intervention

As many of you know, Josh and I have struggled for several years to conceive on our own. We came to a crossroads on what our options were, and after careful thought and prayer for 6 months, decided that adoption was our best road to starting our family. We went through the process of investigating different adoption agencies and attorneys. We debated international vs. domestic, infant vs. toddler and many other choices. We were planing to look at one final agency in February, then we were going to make a decision to "sign-on" with the one we felt most comfortable with.


But at the end of January, I was late getting my period. Odd we thought. My hormones are probably off we said. We just weren't thinking pregnancy was a possibility. As days went on and I still hadn't started, we decided that taking a pregnancy test to double check the 1% possibility that I could be pregnant was a good idea. I was reluctant to take yet another pregnancy test. We had a plan to adopt, and I didn't want to toy with my emotions anymore than I had already over the years. But after some convincing, I decided to take a test to see if a miracle baby was a possibility! On February 6th, I took the test and it was positively POSITIVE!!! A glorious Miracle! And so our journey begins........
