A decision!!!

We have finally made a decision on what agency we will go through!!! This has been a very meticulous decision as all agencies vary so much. Prices vary, plus rules vary. Most agencies require that your youngest is at least 2 years old before starting the process. Then it can take still an additional 12-18 months after that to complete the adoption. For us that would mean that it would be at least 3 years before we would have our new baby in our arms. The agency we decided on is Hope Adoption. They actually had the least waiting time for an infant - 6-9 months total! Plus, Mya's age was not an issue at all for them! It has been awesome to see how God has worked out the details. He has truly made if obvious the doors He wants closed and the ones He wants open! There are still many decisions to make...do we go ahead and start now even though we are fast approaching Spring break-up, (the time of year with little to no income)? Do we wait till after Spring break-up to start the paperwork? Ideally we would like to be working on the paper work while Jesse is off work and try to complete our home study etc. during that time. We will wait and see. Thanks for reading and sharing in our joy! Ashley
