What do we do now?

That seemed to be the question that I ask over and over.

I have always wanted a big family. I love kids. I've always wanted a busy family. While I was pregnant with Kalyna, Albert and I had decided that we would have our two kids and then we would look into adopting to grow our family. There are so many kids on this earth that need families.
This decision wasn't one we made lightly. Over the past year we had been hearing a lot about adoption and both of us have felt our hearts being pulled in that direction. After our beautiful little girl passed away, I felt like I needed to do something. I felt like since our Kalyna will never experience pain, sickness, sadness or hurt in this world, that maybe we could help some other kids who are experiencing these things.  There are a lot of kids that are or will experience these things with no one to walk through it with them. Maybe since Jesus is raising our beautiful daughter who won't experience the hurt that earth brings, that maybe there are other children we can help. Children, who through no fault of their own, are in situations that leave them in need of a family to love them.
We are not looking to replace our daughter. Kalyna is our daughter forever and for always. She will always be loved and remembered. She will be our eldest daughter always. We love her so much.

And so, we are moving forward in the adoption process. Looking forward to seeing who God brings into our forever family. We are ready to love and embrace more children into our home. We are looking forward to giving Micah siblings that he can grow up with, and we will forever look forward to the day when we can introduce Micah and our other children to our other kids, Kalyna and Jaimie in Heaven one day.
