It Really is Pretty Simple

So many children that need 2 things -- a mommy and a daddy! Pretty simple, huh?

We sure do complicate things as grown-ups. I remember when we were in the deciding stages of adoption. We tried to weigh all the options; the pros and cons; the challenges, etc. One night as Lauren was getting into bed, she asked me "what's the big deal, mom? You know it would be a great thing to do, so why don't we just do it?" Yes, simplicity spoken by a child (she was 8 at the time). She was right...

does this mean you are thinking of another adoption? It's that simple right?

I SO needed to be reminded of this. I can give a hundred reasons why it wouldn't make sense for us to add to our already 6 kids......
My heart longs for another. Another longs for my heart. Enough said.
Thanks so much <3

Kids are so smart! and so giving! Even my Conner has started looking at Waiting Child lists and he is the hardest to transition!
When God puts adoption in your heart it is the simple! God carries you through the hard times!

Bless y'all!
Seriously, any plans for a business trip to Tejas?
