Fingerprints...check! Again!

We actually got to do something besides just wait! We completed our USCIS fingerprints again! It was the third time we had to do them (for this adoption) and we are pros! In total, I think Andy and I each have been fingerprinted 10 times between both our adoptions! Unfortunately, we cannot take pictures in the fingerprinting office so we did not get to document the adventure.

We are thinking more and more about this little person who is going to be joining our family. It is very possible that their birth mother is pregnant with them now. When I think about this...I feel so many emotions and many of them are conflicting to each other!

I feel excited for our family yet scared and sad for our child and their first family. It makes me sad to think about what their first family will go through in order for me to have another child in our family.

I do believe that it is meant to be...
but it does make me sad that it has to be this way.

We have a relationship with Mason's first family and I really hope that we are able to sustain some type of relationship with our next child's first family or at least have the hope of it in the future. I know how important this is to all of us...

So...we pray, and wait, and hope, and dream...and enjoy our time and this great adventure until we have our family completed!

Each time that I see Mason's photos, I cannot believe how much he is growing!!!

I share your feeling about the birth family, at least one of our child may be already born! It is emotional, but it is in God's plans.
