Looking back to August, I smile. Once David and I decided that we should move forward with adoption we decided that we had better discuss it with Micah and Luke first. After dinner one night we called our first "family meeting". We asked the boys what they thought about the idea of us adopting a baby. Their reactions were priceless (in my opinion). Micah had a funny look on his face like a half smile, question mark type of look so we said, we'd like to adopt a child but wanted to make sure you guys are okay with it. At this Micah said "sure" with a big smile (he can be a man of few words), and Luke yelled "YAY", which I was not surprised since I knew Luke has always wanted to be a big brother and not just the little brother. They both then said, can we get a girl?
That was the plan..
*Oh and I have to point out that David, the one who was cautious and hesitant, almost totally against adoption for years, was the first to send out emails and make phone calls to friends and family to tell them we had decided to enter the process :) The supportive response we've received from everyone has been humbling and overwhelming. God is good!
