Exciting News!!!

Ok so the exciting news is that we are ADOPTING!!!

We found out shortly after Christmas that we had been choosen to be parents to a sweet angel. The birthmother is a sweet young woman who is make the most selfless act we know. She is an amazing person and we are enjoying getting to know her. She is beautiful both inside and out. She will be considered an angel in our book for all time. Brandon and I are realy excited and nervous all rolled into one. We have really tried to keep our heads about us incase things turn out differently than what we are planning on.

Our birthmother is part native and we are very excited to learn more about her culture so that we can instill some of her culture and upbringing into our daughters life. We don't know too much about the birthfather but we know that he is an amazing youngman. We hope to be able to keep intouch with them through this amazing journey.

We have started putting the nursery together and each time we add something to it we get that much more excited. We don't hav much time to prepare...she is due to make her entrance in March...so we are working very hard to get everything ready!

We are so amazingly grateful for this wonderful, amazing, young woman and hope that she knows how much we love and admire her. We will try to keep you updated with all of the exciting details.

If any of you have any advice for the new parents to be please share it with us...we make look like what we are doing all the time with neices and nephews but we can always use good advice... Thanks for all of your love and support.

Please keep us all in your prayers as we keep you in ours.

We rented this for an hour and we drove all around Seldovia and still had time to spare...but oh it was fun!
