I decided to start a blog dedicated to our third adoption. It will be more of a journal as we wait and anticipate and also another resource for birthparents to access us and to learn a little more about us.
I was talking with a friend the other day about a 20/20 episode I just watched about a birthmom and her process of interviewing 5 adoptive couples and how she chose one. I felt like I was going through our 1st and 2nd adoptions again and was reminded of the intense emotions you feel, the fervent prayers that take over your life, and the desire to just know what to say and know what is going to happen. Infertility is a struggle but so is the adoption process...just a different kind. Now that we are to the waiting stage again, all these emotions are flooding back. You wish there was some way to bypass all of it to just get your baby but it is impossible to discount all a birthmom goes through and the spiritual experiences that happen in between. Bittersweet is such an understatement.

Robb
Robb likes a lot of different things. He is very athletic and when he sets his mind to it, he can accomplish anything. He is very competetive. He has completed 2 marathons and 1 triathlon. He also loves to play and watch basketball.
He LOVES the Utah Jazz. He literally thinks they can win the championship every single year although they never have. He is not a fairweather fan...he is the truest there is. (That's how he is as a dad too.)
He also loves movies and playing games with friends. He is very easygoing. He is also very spiritual and sensitive and has his priorities right where they need to be.

I like so many things. I enjoy scrapbooking, teaching, reading, running, playing game cube, hiking, cooking, traveling, games, movies, and just being with friends and family. I like finding things to do with the boys that they think are really cool and will make them smile like sneaking them off to the golf course or making cookies with them. I love movies that make me think. I love going to Rockies games. I love Dairy Queen during the summer.
Zack
I like to play LEGO Star Wars. I play my new Game Cube. I like to swim and go down the big red slide. I've been playing golf and I like it. I like to eat eggs and bacon. My favorite treat is Laffy Taffys. I like to play outside with my friends. My favorite movie is High School Musical. When I grow up I want to be a storm chaser.
Bryce
I like pizza. I like cookies. I like to play with Hot Wheels cars and play spaceships. My favorite movie is Alvin and the Chipmunks. I love to watch Nick Jr. and the Backyardigans. My favorite babysitter is Becca because she plays games with me. My favorite games are Candyland and Space Faces. I will teach our new baby to be an astronaut.

I can't wait- you guys are so awesome and I know that you are wonderful parents. If it is the Lord's desire I know you will have another- we only hope 'she' comes fast. (Although I know you'd take a 'he' too) :)
Thanks so much for sharing your story. It's wonderful to be able to share this experience with your family and I know that whoever the Lord wants to be with you will be very blessed.
