Baby 2...here we come!
So where are we in the process? The VVVEEEERRRRYYYY beginning. Paperwork 101 and fundraising! Keep us in your prayers! Don't know what to pray for? Here are some ideas: birth parents who don't even know that this is in the works for them, financial means to adopt, peace of mind for LittleSee as she goes on this journey with us, and a good relationship for us w/ the birth family. If you've kept up with us then you know the last one is very important to us. We have such an easy relationship with See's birth mom and fell in love with her and her family from the get go! We pray for our next little one, the same with his/her birth family.
We have two fundraisers going on right now - tupperware and coffee!! You have until the 24th of October to order tupperware! Click here! Great deals and we get 40% of sales! That's amazing!
Since adopting LittleSee, I have fallen in LOVE with coffee! She has even asked for some - the answer is no way kid! :) She has tons of energy and I drink it to keep up! HA! If you're a coffee lover, you're going to love Just Love Coffee. It's so yummy and rich!
If you have any questions, you know how to find me! Thank you so much and we love every one of you!

God is So Good!
The song Your Love is Amazing continuously runs through my head these days. God has blessed us tremendously with the funds to adopt (without debt) and with the SWEETEST baby in the ENTIRE world! I am a little biased but I know that it’s true.
God gave us a sweet little girl on December 19th. He allowed us to be a part of her birth story and spend time with her birthmother. It was a time that my husband and I will never forget and will be eternally grateful that we were able to experience it. She came home to her FOREVER home on December 21st. Thank you to EVERYONE who has prayed for us and/or contributed to our family. You have made a huge impact on our sweet baby’s life and we will always consider you as a part of our family. We love you!
We are so in love with her!

Our Story...
I'm Marcie and this is a blog dedicated to the building of our family. Our story began when my hubs, Billy, and I married in 2008. We knew my biological clocks was ticking and I had a feeling that once we started trying to have a family, that it would be difficult. I think God gives us feelings and intuitions to prepare us for what is ahead. Being a teacher and seeing how some families live, I've always had a heart for adoption. I talked to Billy about it and he said let's wait and see what happens.
Not even a year after we were married, we were headed to an adoption information meeting. We explored fertility options and found that God was not leading us in that direction. We completed our home study and we were approved in 2009. We just knew it would be ANY day that we would receive a call. We decorated a neutral baby room and had everything ready...JUST IN CASE!
Well, a move to a new house and three years later, we FINALLY received a call! Talk about a glorious, exciting, and nerve wrecking day! I don't know how I could feel all of those emotions. A birth mom had looked through a TREMENDOUS stack of profiles and somehow God led her to ours! A baby girl!! She asked to meet with us and we readily agreed. We were bundles of nerves on the way to meet her. What if she didn't like us in person? What if we offend her? What if, what if, what if??!! We expressed our concerns to our adoption specialist and she reassured us that our feelings were normal. That helped, but not much...
We took a moment to pray and peace settled over us. We met with her and instantly fell in love with her! She felt the same way. We talked for two hours as if we were family. We answered her questions, she answered ours. We now email regularly and are planning another meeting. She keeps us up to date on Dr. visits and baby girl (S.E.E.) is doing well.
We are constantly praying that if this child is ours, everything works out perfectly. We are trusting God to help us raise the money we need and to hold our hands throughout this journey. It's been a long hard road with a lot of tears, laughter, and support.
