The Pool family will be bringing home our new son sometime in the future...near future I hope! Our youngest child won't be grown in my body but is already grown in my heart and I long for the day I get to hold him for the first time.
Levi and I have talked about adoption for many years. We were quite sure that God wasn't done growing our family when we were finished having biological children. At the beginning of this year we dedicated ourselves to pray daily about when to start the adoption process and where our son would come from. I am not so good about always waiting on God's timing. Thankfully Levi tends to do this a little better so I told Levi that I was praying that God would make it apparent to him when it was time to go! On February 17th after church Levi said it was time to start the process of bringing our boy home. So now our adventure begins! Our son will be born in China. We are requesting a boy under the age of two. We haven't been matched with a child yet, that could be anywhere in the next weeks to months. Currently we have been busy working on the large amount of adoption paperwork required by the US and Chinese governments.
Originally I wasn't going to blog. I am not a writer. Those of you that followed my first blog, Elizabel.com know that it was short lived. The last post was sharing my pregnancy with Olivia over 4 years ago! But I decided this blog will be a great way to update our family and friends. I hope to keep you updated on where we are in the process and describe how God is guiding us through this. Also I hope that this gives me a way to journal for my son, allowing him to get a better understanding of the how God put him forever in our family!
