Getting Prepared

Isn't it just crazy how childbirth is hard and painful and yet JOYOUS and AWESOME and raising kids is hard and painful at times....but the JOY of it and the desire to do it again and again is just the thing you do...not because it makes good sense to anyone, (even yourself), but the desire is real and the JOY and the LOVE are incomparable to any other.

For those who have adopted it is the same crazy cycle.  It is hard and painful at times...but the desire is real and the JOY is incomparable.  And if you look at adoptive families, you rarely see a family that has adopted ONCE.  Once they catch the bug vision...they do it multiple times.

Today we are getting another home study done.
 We have NO CLUE who we are going to adopt or from where or what age or even
IF
we are going to adopt again....but we decided for the first time to be prepared, and for adoption that means paperwork ready, to say

 YES

 if the Lord has another child for us. 

 It's a little like taking prenatal vitamins JUST IN CASE.  I was never good at that, but I know it is a good idea.   It's kinda like getting your body in shape before you get pregnant...again always a good idea....me, not so much.

We are going to try to be ready and waiting on the Lord...if He has a Brewer out there...maybe they won't have to wait for us to get our paperwork in order.
Maybe we can just jump and GO!!!

This is a new concept for me...I was caught off guard with most pregnancies AND our adoption.  The desire was there for both...just no preparation.  :)  

Many times people say,  "You will  know when you are done having kids"....well, I missed that gene...obviously, and I look at it like this...we will just keep adding kids until WE KNOW we are done.  (I actually hope that never happens).

  I have a feeling with 163 million orphans in the world that the Lord just may have another 1 or 2 that could be Brewers.  

Just SAYIN'.

It won't do anybody any good to ask questions about who or when because WE HAVE NO CLUE.
  It's like asking a woman when she is due and what she is having......well......that's a hard one to answer....especially if she isn't even pregnant yet.  :)

So I'm just throwing it out there....we are NOT ON ANY ADOPTION CONTROL.
 If ya know what I mean.  hehehe  

We are just going to move forward and trust in the Lord and His timing and see what happens.  It's kinda fun   to do it like this....... I might get into this preparation thing...
Nahhhhhhh....probably NOT REALLY.   :)  I'm sure it's just a phase.
