Update

Many people have asked for an update since the last post about our doctor's visit. I have delayed updating the blog about this because we have been trying to sort through all of the emotions that come along with being told in one sentence that we probably cannot have anymore children of our own and then in the next, being asked the question, would you like to adopt? It has been a lot to weigh in such a short period of time. But after examining the situation from all angles available to us, we have decided to pursue the adoption. We have made the first steps in this pursuit by writing a "Life Letter". This letter is where the adopting family writes to the birthmother describing the family with words and pictures. The birthmother will look at several letters and select the family that most closely fits her adopting family ideal. So, we may or may not be selected. However, we reasoned that the opportunity was too great to pass, and beyond that, we felt lead in this direction. Within a couple of weeks we should know if we were chosen by the birthmother. Until then, I plan on relaxing and enjoying my summer. If we are selected, then I think we will have much to prepare for very quickly, so a little R&R should be taken while I have the chance! :) Thanks to all the friends and family who have called and sent letters. You guys are the best and really have helped us feel loved.
P.S. My tests have come back inconclusive due to a benign cyst on my ovary and will be repeated again next month.
