I have really been blessed with such a wonderful family! I never knew that I could be so happy! In life, we as humans usually are impatient and want things to happen right now or on our timeline. Well, we have learned that God’s timing might not be the same as our own! Trying to conceive was the first time we really saw God’s timing was different and that we are not always in control. We were wondering if God’s plan was pointing us to adopt to have children, so we even had started researching adoption agencies. I knew God had a plan for our family to grow, and I’m just so happy that the time finally came! We are so excited for the future to see what it brings! Suzanne
