Michael's new career choice will allow more time at home and weekends off. I can't wait!! This makes me excited just talking about the extra time we will have as a family. Some of you may know that Michael's current job (Paramedic-Emergency Services) requires him to be away from home for 24 hours at a time, every third day, which is not family friendly. And working on holidays was required. He loves working as a Paramedic, but God has opened new doors. Everything has fell in to place. We have been and continue to be Blessed!! God is so good!
I would like to update everyone about our waiting status. There have been 12 placements in 2013, which is 3 more than this time last year at Bethany Christian Services. This is good news to hear. Even though we do not have a placement yet, it is nice to know that placements are being made at our adoption agency. We don't hear much unless we ask. Our adoption specialist checks in with us every 3 months, but other than that we just wait for the call.
I check the website of waiting families more times than I would like to admit. Ha! Not that it will change anything or speed anything up for us, but it is nice to see "Placement" labeled on different profiles. I have prayed, and continue to pray for each family in Mississippi that is waiting just like us. You see, we are not in competition with one another. We are all waiting for God's perfect plan.
If you would like to view our profile you can click here. (this is our Dear Birthmother letter) We also have a profile book that is more detailed about our life. If a Birthparent(s) makes an adoption plan they use our profile as a tool to determine their sweet baby's forever family.
Please keep us in your prayers. We are still waiting!
...Praying for Our Happily Ever After

Hey Ginger! I'm Lindsay, my husband and I are from MS and are also waiting with Bethany! I don't have a blog but I thought I'd comment after I found yours =) It's always nice to find someone else who understands us. We were approved in January and I'm pretty certain I've checked that waiting families site most days, ha..and I'm not sure why! I just like to see that things are happening I guess, even if they aren't with us yet. Anyways, hope y'all are doing well, I'm certainly praying for all of us!

Hey Lindsay! I am so glad you found my blog...not because of anything that I write but just knowing someone else going through this journey makes the wait a little brighter. Maybe soon we will meet up at the Bethany picnic and get to introduce our children! That sounds exciting, right?!
